Question about Trailers?

Tweaker · 03-11-2010, 11:40 AM

Preparing for down the road to get an enclosed trailer.

I will first use it for my 2007 mustang gt but in two years I'm going to be selling the mustang to get a RED.

Would a 8.5x24 enclosed trailer fit my mustang and/or when i get rid of the mustang would it if a RED?

And if not then what is the next bump up that would fit?

Also what would be a recommended pulling vehicle? F250? F150?

F350 with 28' or 30' (you never have to much trailer)

235inch or less dragster will fit in a 24 ft trailer, with no cabinets. Most newer dragsters are all that or longer. As was said, can't have to much trailer, and I would not recommend trying to pull an enclosed trailer with a F150

Yep! Bob's right! the F150 (one half ton) is too light the F250 (3/4 Ton) will be marginal and the F350 (1 ton) will pull it like it's not even back there trust me I have tried to use all of them the only down side of the one ton it they really like fuel!

Speaking from experience they really, really, really like the fuel.

So do you think a F250 or something similar would be able to tow a 24 or 28? This is gonna be all budget racing. So I'll be looking for truck with around $10k I know F350 can be expensive.

Question is would the 24footer fit a 2007 mustang gt?? Yes it would have no cabinets.. I'm thinking a 26footer would be nice but i have a hard time finding 26footers. Here is a photo of the car: http://projectrhyme.com/khracing/Pinks1small.jpg

Now what about GVW?? 7,000 or 10,000?

I'm a little disappointed in you Bob, Sounds like Tweaker is looking for a good quality 1 ton dually to purchase that would tow an enclosed trailer and you know how I've been trying to sell my 95 ext. cab C3500 for far less than what Tweaker is looking to pay. I can't believe you didn't try to help me out
