Default Re: "Budget" 2-car hauling?

I have a Kauftman two car wedge trailer. I transport car for a living, I pull it with my 2001 GMC dually (Dura Max Diesel), its a gooseneck trailer. This truck pulls it like nothing and gets 12 to 13 mpg with two full size cars on it. Pulling my 22' enclosed tralier with my Buick in it is no effort at all. If you are planing pulling a trailer that heavy ( two cars ) I wouldn't pull it with anything other than a diesel. a 3/4 ton or a dually.. The dually would be my choice.

I have a 48ft haulmark. I paid $16,000 for it new. I have hauled 2 door cars and a golf cart and a dragster-doorcar and golf cart. I also sleep in it so I save on Motel bills.

Thanks...lots of good info. Looking at 2010 season....Right now, leaning towards ramp truck/open trailer method. Not in the market yet.....MANY bills to pay before we "PLAY". Won't always be hauling 2 cars but when the need arises...wanted to HAVE the equipment. Also, parking the equipment is an issue as well. How are ramp trucks and/or dualies on tire life?

My old 1 ton I used to have got about 60k on the rear tires and 45 to 50 on the fronts. I would rotate the fronts side to side, but flip the tires around on the rim so they would wear even. They would wear on the inside and if you just took them off and put them on the other side, they would still wear on the inside. and it kept them rolling in the same direction, which I understand you don't have to worry about that anymore.

Find the truck you want and take it to Hodges in KY. They can build you a ramp truck in two days with a connector between the truck and trailer so that once the trailered car is removed you can back the off the ramp over the trailer and onto the ground without having to unhitch the trailer.
