Re: Trailer? (its a dirty word)
I'm very happy with mine, it's an H&H 20' tilt rated for 7000lb's, has electric brakes on both axles and has room for a rigging/tool box, $2400 new. I've used this trailer to haul Sally to shows and drag strips with no issues, the beds of both trucks have plenty of room for tools, tires, and canopy's and chairs. http://www.hhtrailer.com/products/st...anual-tiltbed/

Re: Trailer? (its a dirty word)
Get plenty of axle with brakes on all the axles. A 24 ft enclosed behind your truck, a shower of rain, and someone pulling out in front of you will be a disaster. I drag raced for 30 yrs and pulled everything. I got my first enclosed trailer and after 2 real close calls with idiots, I bought me a used 2wd 1 ton. A load level and sway bar kit made 1 heck of a improvement also. Heavy susp and longer WB makes a big difference in towing.

Re: Trailer? (its a dirty word)
Mines 16' with 2' dovetail (angled ramp) on the back. 2" ball, brakes on all tires, wood floor, 7000# GVW, will fit a long bead. My axles are a little more rearward than a 16', thing tows nice on a highway. Ones like it are $2200 or less everywhere.
Add a small winch (for that day when you break) with a battery box and a lockable tool chest to the front, and off you go. I'm going to rebuild mine this summer, springs and brakes and paint and new ramps (very nose heavy tractor bent them) and hold stands on the back (same tractor tried to pick up truck) and make the fenders removable (can be hard to get out of a low car with flat tires). If I was to buy new I'd buy a 10200# version for around $2800.
