Guys with Car trailer question
Looking at purchasing a MTI 8.5 x20 enclosed car hauler. Has tandem axels equal to 7k lbs
Assuming camaro about 4k. But Leary of the ramp door. Any of you had bad luck with a trailer ramp ? |

I have the 8.5x24 but I had to take the factory flip over ramp off and make one that was 38” instead of 16” because of the ground clearance. I had an open trailer before this and was much harder to load on due to the height of the trailer.

If you go this route you will need to make some wedges to support the weight of the car. I can send some pics if need be.

Here are some pictures of the ramp. I replaced the factory rubber bumpers with thicker ones. The outside “wedges” are in line with the tires when you pull up on the ramp. If you need anymore pictures let me know.
