i ended up ordering a 18' kaufman open trailer today, a friend put together a group buy at a pretty good price so it was an easy decision. i figure i can always step up to a closed trailer if the need arises.

Turning talk into action is what counts. Congratulations! Be safe out there!
Congrats! Now my old baby can rest traveling to and from the track! :tongue:
I was so excited to talk about trucks and trailers that I forgot! I suppose I'll post something in the Chicago section.
got my trailer today, then drove straight to charlotte and picked up a new toy:

the tripmeter says 413 miles, and the fuel gauge shows more than half a tank remaining

Here is mt set up. I have it where I can load it with my NSX, 2 bikes and my ATV.
This is what I use to get back and forth to the track most of the time. I purchased it a few years ago. Really does make it nice to be able to haul multiple cars, golf carts, etc and have a place to hang out.

Still have it
I have a few bumper pull trailers that if I am taking just 1 bike or a car to a drag strip etc that I will take it.

I keep it offsite. We are over 70' long rolling down the road so makes it a little cumbersome to keep around the house.

I tow with a 2004 Nissan TITAN 5.6 V8...love it...knock on wood...no problems...pictures soon...
Sean, that's a really nice setup!
My setup:
Pick Up Mazda BT-50. 2.5i Turbo Diesel. 143PS and 330nm. With Chiptuning it will have 430nm and 170PS (I will do the tuning later this month). RWD or 4WD normal speed or 4WD with short gearing. MP3 6 CD changer, seat heating, 5 speed manual shifter.
Allowed to tow a maximum trailer weight of 3 tons (6600lbs). 1 ton (2200lbs) maximum load on Pick up. My Trailer, brand Fitzel has a maximum load of 2 tons (4400lbs). The weight of the trailer is about 350kg (770lbs) - full aluminium trailer. So I can hook up a car with about 1650kg (3630lbs).
average fuel consumption: 13 litre on highway with an speed of 130-140kmh (80-87 mph) with trailer and car on it. Thats about 3.45 gallons for 62 miles. Thats about 18 miles per gallon??? Is that correct calculated? That is pretty good compared to your heavy V8 engines I guess. If I would drive just 50 mph, which is the maximum allowed speed with heavy trailer I would have an fuel consuption of about 10 litre per 100km = 2,65 gal for 62 miles = 23,4 miles per gallon
Lucky! I can only wish and pray we'd be able to get a smaller size truck with a modern turbo diesel here in America some day.
FYI! I just found out Enterprise Truck Rental offers Ford F250 diesels you can rent and tow with. May be a good option to look at if you don't need a truck full time.

I basically would need a trailer to store my NSX in the yard, off the ground. I also own an Acura MDX. Does anyone currently have an MDX and a trailer to pull the NSX? If not, any recommendations for a lightweight trailer to use, maybe even a shop in the NY/NJ/CT area.
I wont be towing cross country but some local trips only.
