Yes indeed, i have looked at a few utube's, but not seeing anything helpful.

I towed a vehicle only once but I rented a Uhaul trailer designed for that purpose. Front wheels have straps and tightened with a ratchet. It was great and I didn’t worry about the car. Check out link for video.

It is advertised as a car hauler. The payload is 4400LBS.

Or could you back it up to a driveway with a slope leaving the trailer in the street to take some of the distance to the ground off it?

Where in Colorado are you moving to?
That is exactly what im thinking to unload, were going to Conifer, i cant wait to get out of this welfare/entitled shithole!!

Other short term option is backing it up to a curb where you can drive from the higher section onto the ramp that is raised up 6". Not always an easy proposition finding a location that works with the length of a car hauler on a public road.
I had to make a 4 tier 2x10x5' to get her on the trailer last night, they must weigh 50LBS each. I certainly dont want to haul them but i have no choice.
