6. Electric Brakes
7. Front wheel/tire down anchor points ( for low cars ) then it can be
used for all cars.
8. Tie down box on the trailer ( left tham at home a few times )
9. Front shade cloth to protect the cars.

I did a bit of reasearch a few years ago on this topic. I feel you only need to buy 1 trailer in your life.

To add to Stiffs list.
- Have the wheels moved back slightly to avoid urges for tank slapping
- Keep tyre rack low and add cover. Exposed rubber REALLY increased drag.
- Fold away jocky wheel. So simple yet so much easier.
- In built tool box storage.
- Set your onboard winch battery up to recharge off the car while driving.
- Cheap is usually cheap for a reason.
- Only buy it if you can keep it locked up and out of the view of the general "thieving" public. They go missing quicker than you can blink! Craned onto flatbeds isn't unusual!
