WTB: Aluminum trailer with tire rack and tow vehicle
Anyone have/know of any used *open* aluminum trailers (with a tire rack) for sale? Imma need one.
Suggestions/leads for a good tow vehicle/daily driver welcome! Needs to tow a 977.2 and at least 2 sets of wheels. Thinking VW TDI, Audi Q7, BMW X5, Cayenne Diesel... Willing to trade a sweet 2008 Ford 150 van.  d.

Are you looking for an open trailer or an enclosed trailer? If you want open, there's a nice looking Trailex on RL https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1221461. But it's not local.
Also, have you checked the tow rating on the van? Any chance it might work as a tow vehicle until you get something better?

Thanks Bill, looks like a nice trailer! Wish it was closer.
The van doesn't have much torque but it might do in a pinch if I find a trailer first. But I'm trying to sell the van too.

Oh no. Another loss in the rank of the die hards.
I do not know about variants of X5, but I know of someone who was towing with a X5 diesel was unhappy with the sufficiency of the brake and considered power marginal. You can rent a truck for towing. I think one of the car rental company’s has a truck rental unit which allows towing. Good luck looking. RL or racingjunk are good options.

From a tow vehicle perspective I bought a 2012 Q7 TDI about a year and a half ago and love it. It is essentially the same as the Cayenne but with more utility in the back which I need for race ramps and transport of stuff to/from kids college and trips to the lake.
Let me know if you want more details. Good luck with the search.

Thanks, Bill.
Besides making sure my wide body can fit on it (my car is 71-73" wide and this has usable deck width of 75"), any other questions I should ask him? +1 on the Q7! Quote:
