Most of the time, yes. Boat owners remove any covers before towing. But, you're only concerned with what comes off the rear tires of
your truck in most cases unless there is something going on like some spilled gravel (not uncommon). I would devise a shield for the lower back of the car and pull the car up onto the trailer backwards. That way you don't have to position the car as far forward as you would if forwards for a 10% tongue weight of the total weight. That alone might shield the car a bit. I also think a moving blanket tied very well and securely over the parts of the car vulnerable might work out. There isn't a tremendous amount of turbulence right behind the truck box. To cover the whole car is to invite a lot of flapping as he said. Especially out in the wind stream.
