2011 Big Tex 60CH http://www.bigtextrailers.com/pdf/60ch.pdf

16x84

Weight: 1600

Capacity: 6000

Color: black

Break away system and electronic brake on one axle

Spare tire

4' ramps

Collars installed in all four corners for tie down on ratchet straps



Literally bought this new, drove it home, used it for one round trip to take my e46 m3 to cage builder at cresson, and have had it in storage ever since. Original plan was to trailer my car back and forth to cresson, but decided to buy a membership and garage my race car there. I have been delaying making a decision about this trailer but i think If I end up needing to trailer my car I think I'm going to get an enclosed trailer next year.



Also, FYI there is a scratch and small dent on the top of the left fender. No big deal at all.



I'll let it go for $1695 net of any fees (ie paypal). I think you'll see what a great deal that is for an effectively new trailer.



Also, total length on this is less than 20 feet (about 19'6"), so it will fit in most garages.



CORRECTION: This model does not have a dovetail.

I updated the original post. I added a link to the specs/mechanical drawing.

It's in storage in Lewisville, so I'd have to run out there to take pics--which I will try to do later this weekend, but I promise it's new--only used once and been sitting in storage ever since.

4' ramps seem a little short. Question for anyone who has used a trailer similar to this, any issues with getting low profile cars on and off?

4' is standard because the trailers are 8' wide and the ramps meet in the middle under the trailer. What people typically do regarding very low cars is to nail together a couple pieces of 2x6s in a ramp format with a notch in the back for the steel ramps to rest on. No big deal, and costs a few bucks to make. Also, if you wanted you can angle the trailer back slightly by elevating the front jack by putting a wooden block under it.

No dove tail = Tricky for lowered cars.
