My friend and I were looking into ways we can trailer both of our S-chassis to the track this coming year and were looking into trailer rental since we don't have space for a trailer and the budget to buy one, but we have a truck capable of towing 11k pounds easy.

We were thinking about renting this trailer:

can any trailer guys chime in, they think this could fit 2 s-chassis?

also anyone got any tips for car hauler rentals/etc? kinda new to the whole thing

Does it take rocket science to measure the length of your car(s) with a measuring tape and see if it comes in under the length of the "useable space" of the trailer?

Seriously... a little common sense goes a long way. :nono:

And personally, I would spend the extra 25 bucks and rent the enclosed trailer:

You have no idea how nice it is to be able to hid out if it rains, etc.

Not long enough. An S13 is a hair under 15' long, so you'd need a minimum of a 30-32' trailer to be safe.

Also, don't rent one. Go out and buy a used trailer for $2500-$3500 and when you're done with it, sell it for what you paid. Trailers are one of those things that don't really lose value.
