another thing that i did not account for before I bought the trailer is that i can't open the doors when the car is loaded on the trailer

I would love to see the air bag setup. I have a few sets of 18 wheeler bags here at the house no clue how to use them on my 16 ft open trailer.

Rollback..No ramps, no dove tail, no issues w/ doors/fenders.
Winch, deck lights, LED tail, brake, clearance. Air dam at the front. Track type tie downs.

how much clearance do you need? I was barely hitting my fenders when sitting in the car. So I put a 2x8 on the trailer and rolled my front driver side tire on it to give me clearance.

Removable left fender helps a lot, easy to do and you can use hood pins or? to mount it, then you can get your door open or closed with the car on the trailer. You just have to remember to put it back on when you leave.

i just purchased a maxxd n5x8318 which is a 18ft steel deck w/ 4' dove tail and 72" slide out ramps. i have not loaded my car onto it yet, but i anticipate that it will be very easy. wish i would have ordered it though as they offer removable fenders, but mine was a stock trailer. built nice, powder coated, diamond plate trim, all leds, just lacks the removable fender i need, but i'll take care of that soon. the best part is it didn't cost any more than all the "cheap" trailer brands around town.

Lot of companies that sell car trailers have this option even uhaul rental car trailers have this option of fold away drivers side fenders unless that have low fenders.
My old trailer that had low fenders and the last uhaul I rented in 2016

Triton makes good trailers. Very versatile with movable tie downs or you can add more easily. My favorite thing and the reason i bought a triton was it was full width in front of the wheel houses.
