I decided to upgrade my trailer. I really liked my old one but it was originally a Motorcycle trailer and cars were a very tight fit going thru the door. The FFR guys always gave me grief when I showed up for a kit, LOL. I traded to this Wells Cargo 8.5'x20' car hauler. Very nice and it is all aluminum and actually weighs less that my old 6.5'x15' unit. Plus I can stand up in it. I am sure fuel mileage will drop some but the v-nose seems to work well. This will really make hauling kits and cars so much easier. Plus it only cost me 5K plus my old trailer!:cool:

nice. Wish I had a vehicle to tow an enclosed trailer.

I was just reading the paperwork that came inside the trailer I bought. Lo and Behold it was a FFR 20' trailer and somehow it ended up in Gainesville, FL. The paperwork said it was ordered by FFR. It is only missing the decals and Hot Rod wheels. It came with everything else.I guess I just lucked into it. I hope FFR can hook me up with some decals, LOL.

Great looking trailer Tom!

A 20' trailer should give you plenty of room for car and parts/tools, etc.

I imagine your new GTM will fit nicely as well.

Regards,

Steve

Nice trailer! Hard to beat a good enclosed trailer. I'm sure FF5 will get you decals for a lot of free advertising as you travel down the East Coast. Len

I bought a used 20' trailer to use during construction of my home. I said I'd sell it once the house was done. I'm not ready to let it go now. I find it useful every now and then and I still have to haul my 37 pickup back from Minnesota.

Very nice trailer - I really liked my enclosed trailer, but the storage requirements and the need for a larger vehicle eventually made it a burden. Your selection of the all aluminum V-nose version is very wise, though, and will reduce some of the issues associated with larger trailers. Congratulations!!!!!

Been working off and on installing a diamond plate floor and painting the corner trim satin white vs the wood color they came as. Also added 4 more tie down hoops. I really like this 20' FFR trailer. Sure will make hauling kits and cars easier and look good doing it, LOL.

Tom, You need to get a Hobby. Seems like you just can't find enough to keep you busy ;)

Your right. I just got done installing a new PowerStop Extreme Brake kit on the front and rear of my Ram Eco-Diesel 1500, LOL.
