I didn't locate what I was after on the search engine, so which open trailer is best suited for the Viper? Price range? Thanks. :usa:

The was a topic a month or so ago about H&H's new trailer they were making especially for exotics like the Viper.

It is on their website and I think it is about 5k.

To much for me since mine is only on a trailer 1-2 times a year.

Retail for the H&H Viper trailer starts at $5995.00 (16 Ft). I should be receiving mine in about a week or two. I'll let you know what I think.

Like others mentioned, I only need to haul a couple times a year, & I have no where to store a trailer. I have a company vehicle, a snow ******, a Viper, and a Z71 truck all sharing a two car garage. Does anybody RENT these things? I know if I had one, I'd be more than happy to let another guy haul his Viper on it for a weekend. All for say, 2 Ben Franklins, proof of liability insurance, and indemnification? Am I wrong?

I don't know your intended use, but here's my experience. I've owned 5 different traliers ranging from 20' to 40' in length. I've tried economy trailer budgets and luxury trailer budgets. They have all functioned exclusively to carry my Viper back and forth across the country to track events. What I've found is that a trailer without an electrical generator, winch, compressed air, tire racks, a proper ramp system, and well-designed cabinets for tools, equipment, etc. is a real burden. I've also visited a trailer manufacturing facility to learn how these things are made. There is a huge difference in quality between brands, and it is not always reflected in price. I'd recommend TPD trailers for very high quality/durability. Check out www.tpdtrailers.com. They are made in California. I would consider a 26' floor plate to be the minimum desirable length. Along with the 4' tongue, you are talking 30' total. If you don't have the budget or the room for this size, I believe you will eventually feel compromised. A well-equipped trailer of this size built out the way you want it will cost $20,000-$25,000 brand new, and sometimes considerably less in used condition. If you are looking at brand new trailers in the $6,000 - $7,000 range, be very cautious about construction quality and durabilty. In my opinion, some of the best known brands are put together with flysh*t and waxpaper. I have no experience with H & H.

Sloan Quick load
About $3,400 then you have to add tax and license - nylon straps etc

Sloan Qwik Load. Its a tilt trailer and I haven't heard a complaint yet. In fact I'm still looking for one if anyone happens to come across a good used one cheap.
