Quick Trailer question, 13'4" Long enough for Z?
 
Hi guys, I came across to a 13'4" deck length open trailer for a good price. Is it long enough to tow my 350z to the track? I know the overall length is something like 14'1", so the rear bumper might stick out of the trailer. I assume it's a pretty tight fit, but should be ok. What do you guys think?

how tall is it ? How wide? What axles?

pchio Dec 4, 2011 08:13 PM

desk width 6'2". Dual axle, not sure about what kind and it is a open trailer

You might need to worry about fender height and will there be enough rear room to have tie downs?

If its local why not just try and see if he will let you test fit it...

Tie downs are the problem.

Thanks all. I will pass then.

I would look for a 15' minimum. I have had my car on a 15' open trailer, and there was sufficient space.

pchio Jan 12, 2012 04:08 PM

Purchased a 16' DoveTail after all. Thanks for all the inputs!

mhoward1 Jan 12, 2012 04:22 PM

Glad you found one

pchio Jan 24, 2012 03:10 PM

Thanks. Not most best trailer out there, but it gets the job done. Brand new, 2012 model, weight about 1400lbs, open center dove tail, with brakes on 1 of the axle for $1800, cant pass the deal. I might have to get some reinforcement done on where the car sits on, and it should be good.

Next, I will have to weld a tire rack on.

How much room do you have off the back fo the 16 foot trailer, i'm in the air between 16 and 18 foot. I want to be able to load my quad sideways on the back to ride around in the pits

pchio Jan 24, 2012 03:25 PM

I would say about 3' left with my car. 1' on the flat bed+ 2' on dovetail.

Thank you, my quad is roughly 4 feet wide . Looks like the 18 for me

I already own two quads and scooters don't do well in the desert.

pchio Jan 24, 2012 04:50 PM

UMMM, I dont remember mine is a 16' (14'+2' dovetail) or 18' (16' + 2' dovetail). I dont have the trailer with me, so i have to get the measurement for you to confirm for a later time.
