recommend an enclose trailer

my f150 is rated to pull a trailer weight of 5900 pounds. i would like to find a 20foot enclosed car hauler that can carry my vw bug, and total weight not exceed the 6000 pound limit. i know the featherlights are aluminum and less weight, but they want double the money. any other suggestions. depending on money i still might upgrade to a f250 diesel down the road.

Just as an observer to what you wrote...

I would think laying out twice for a featherlight would end up being way cheaper than dumping your F150 for an F250...

But if you WANT a new truck...get a new truck...that shouldn't hinge on a trailer price IMO...

Good luck,
joe.

I bought my enclosed trailer through eBay. Just kept searching till I found one local so that I could inspect it in person.

There are some killer deals right now because of the economy.
