Default Re: Need trailer

Re 7 or 7.5, I am not sure how wide the Gremlin trailer is, I think its either 7.5 or 8 feet, and you have to exit out the back window, and have little room for error. To put it in perspective, the Gremlin is a small car, exactly the same size as a mini cooper s, with the side mirrors turned in. Not a wide car at all. Got out of the mini the same way through the back hatch.

For the cars, you will not regret having a 8.5 foot wide trailer. Not sure if a aluminum frame would be good or bad with our road salt. I have only towed the 24 foot vintage steel once in the snow. Going isn't the issue, its stopping!

Don't know what interior you are looking at with the Wells Cargo, I did just snag a light affordable 24 foot trailer myself(2850-2900 lbs),which will be towed either with the 08 v8 4runner, or the 15 Tacoma. Send me a pm if you like, I can tell you about the trailer.

Others could likely chime in on the merits or lack thereoff of using a car trailer for sleds.
