It seems the time is right for me to get a car hauler since I now have the room to store one. I looked on the used market and haven't found anything worth looking at or the prices were just about the cost of new so I decided to go new. I'm going to be towing mainly FJ25s and FJ40s. I do also own a FJ45LPB and FJ62 which may be trailered. More the likely the 45 than the 62. The 62 would only be trailered if broken down and I wanted back in Phoenix for repairs. My tow vehicles are a 2000 TLC and a 2004 4Runner. Both are V8s and full time 4WD. They are rated at 6,500# and 7,000# towing. Both will be set up with a brake controller. Now The Question is anyone using a 14' car hauler for there FJ40 and can you get the right balance on a 14' trailer. I what to get the right amount of weight on the vehicle tongue so it would trailer right. So would you go 14' or 16' with my setup. Not going to go any longer than 16' because of weight concerns. 5000# GVW is to light and 10,000# GVW too heavy, 7,000# GVW would be right? Any input would be appreciated.
