Anyone know, or have tried to transport a ZL1 on a U-Haul car trailer. Moving this summer and am going to have to trailer my beast. Not sure that it’ll fit...

Yes, I hauled one from Ft meyers, fla to northern ohio.

I pulled the car up on the trailer. As it got close to the front, I had to drive the front wheels up on (2) 2x10s so the front fascia would clear. I will look and see if I took some pics and show what I mean.

Same here. Trailering mine from SC to AZ next month.

ok. still looking for pictures of the car on the trailer, but here is the trailer I used.

notice where the black straps/"net" mounts to the trailer floor. There is rod that it mounts to. From that point to the front, I had two 2x10s stacked. I had one before the "rod" to make it a progressive step up.

I also placed a 2x10 under the end of the ramps as the car pulled up on it so it didn't "bottom out". better safe than sorry.

Thanks for this, was thinking I would have to put something under the front tires to get it on/off the ramps.

What was the purpose of the double stack 2x10s forward of the front tires(?), that part wasn’t clear to me.

OK, just reread this. Think I understand the double stack 2x10s are to clear the front splitter over the front of the trailer?

It's not the best pic but if you zoom in you can see the wood under the front tires

Thanks. Did you double stack 2x lumber? Any issues getting the car up on the ramps?

I didnt double stack the wood. You will need some wood to put in front of the ramps before driving up. Also, you will need wood to clear the area where the ramps meet the trailer. It helps if load on an surface that's slightly inclined.

You can see the wood better in the pics below, the z51 does sit higher than my z06.....the board under the front tire is extra long because at the time those were the same boards I used in front of the trailer ramps.

Looks tight on getting door open to get in and out. How did that go?
Thx H

Be really careful that the one you get is wide enough. I told them year and car make, and the trailer they gave me wasn’t wide enough, messed up both rear rims.

The driver side trailer fender folds down for you to open the door. Dont swing the car door all the way open and you should be fine.

As far as the trailer not being wide enough is not an issue as long as you have the newer trailer that's silver, like the ones in my photos. The z06 has 335 tires which fit on the trailer without rubbing

How did you secure the rear end?

[TLSTWIN]

The fender on the drivers side folds down to be able to open the door.

I think all the questions have been cleared up with everyone else.

Let me know if anything else needs cleared up.
