Car Trailers
Have a 2018 6.2L Crew Cab and looking to get an enclosed car trailer for an upcoming move in a few months. Wondering if any of you guys/gals have pictures of your trucks pulling them, recommendations on trailers (would love an ATC but way out of my price range), and just any other good info. The truck and trailer will be pulling my 68 Firebird (currently being restored), all of my tools, and a few household items.
Thanks in advance,
Blah

Many "variables" in your question.........
Some considerations:
Will you be attempting to place the center of gravity of the Firebird directly over the trailer wheels?
Are you wanting a side door on the trailer to open and allow you to get in and out of the car while it is in the trailer?
Length of trailer... Are you planning on loading the heavy tools into the front or rear of the trailer ?
At times, I have slid heavy objects to the front of the truck bed, rather than put them into my trailer... A consideration
You have a long pull truck.. What overall length can you live with? Parking while on the road can be a problem.
Thieves frequent the parking areas around the Motel 6 with the big lot for an 18 wheeler.... Backing the trailer against an immovable object is a priority for me.
Have fun on your road trip... They are always an adventure.
