Trailer help
 
I'm looking at a Triton Aluminum Trailer. It is 28 FT.( 24 Plus A 4 foot
V-nose). I can only find review info about people who use them to tow
ATV'S & snowmobiles. Anybody have any history towing a car with
one, tools, jacks, trans', spare motor,ice,beer, etc.? Need to know by 9:00 P.M. tonight. Also, i've never had a V-nose Trailer, PROS/CONS?
Thanks for the help.

J. R.,
If the trailer doesn't have 5200 lb. axles walk away! If you calculate the weight of your car, gear and unlaiden weight of the trailer, I'm sure you will be in excess of 7000lb.
I have no personal experience with that brand of trailer, so I can't speak to the quality of the structure. Hope this helps.

Don's right, they typically don't have the good axles or needed capacity. Also a higher CG due to extra ground clearance for off road situations. Higher means tougher to load a car too.

Hi Guys. You were both dead on with the 3500 lb. Axles. I've always
had 5th wheels that were purpose built race car trailers (Chapperal, Aerolite)
and I didn't need to be concerned. I probably would have bought it
tonight if I didn't post this. The GC is OK, if is was one of the higher
ones I wouldn't have bought it, I already get laughed at enough when
i'm at the track(lol). Again thanks for the help, you saved me a lot of
grief. J.R.
