I couldn't touch one locally for under $3300 (new) and ended up with a better trailer from Kaufman in NC for $2200 delivered. May be worth a look

What do you guys think of this?

I would think the open bottom would be extremely helpful if you ever needed to really get under the car at the track for something..
Dovetail= 52"
Floor= 22" diamond plate runners
Ramps= 50 in. x 20 in. smooth surface rear slide in ramps, with 2 in. x 2 in. x 1/4 in. angle runners
Deck length= 16' (11 ft. 8 in. flat + 52 in. dovetail)
Deck height= 20" (would this clear doors?)
Looks like a pretty damn good deal IMO..

appalachian trailers is also someone to try......They're a few more bucks but they are a full deck, which will make it useful for things other than just cars.......If you need under the car for something, you can park the car part-way on the ramps and crawl under it.

I thought about an open center but to use it for other things could be an issue ? I also looked at being able to work off it, but it's at a odd heigth and the cross bars always seem to be in the way.

Thanks. This trailer was $7300 with the tool box, winch, aluminum wheels and l.e.d. lights. But its got a 20' deck and movable tie downs which is real handy. It weighs 1400lbs, that's pretty light for a trailer that size. I needed a aluminum trailer so I can pull it behind my truck camper to keep weight down as much as possible. I had a Featherlight(I think there is a pic in this thread) and they're a nice trailer, but not as versatile as this Triton.

Here is a pic of mine. I found it on CL for $1200. It has an open center, when I got it the guy had bolt 2x10s to the center section for other purposes. I still use them when I need to move something other than my car. It is a 18' with 2' dove w/dual electric brakes, it only has 4' ramps.
The short ramps make it a pain in the *** to load. I usually back the rear tires of the truck onto some ramps and the car pulls right up. I have since welded a receiver hitch to the front to mount my winch. I have also added a tongue box to store the winch in.
