Tomorrow morning I go pick up my first car trailer. It is a 2007 model aluminum 18 foot dual axle with electric brakes on both axles. Hard to find these used so I snagged this when it recently came up on Craigslist. I will tow my 911 or my 914GT clone. Tow vehicle is a 1997 GMC 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive pickup equiped with factory tow package including tranny cooler, heavy duty hitch with a 5.7 litre engine and 3:42 gear ratio. I'm expecting this rig to tow with no issues. One thing I haven't seen mentioned here is you want to make sure you have aprox. a 15-20% safety factor for the trailer and the tow vehicle. So figure the max for both and subtract 15-20% and that should leave a comfortable safety margin. Happy trailering
