Talking Or you could drive the Cobra

The type trailer that U Haul rents comes with an inertia brake because most personal cars are not equipped to activate the electric brakes of most car haulers. If the car and trailer weighs more than the tow vehicle they will not rent you a trailer unless you would like to rent the tow vehicle also. 16-foot car haulers (actual over all length around 21ft.) come in many descriptions. They have steel with wooden floors about 900lbs at $900.00; they have all steel like mine at about 1,800lbs for $1,400.00 and all aluminum trailers that are back to 900lbs but 4 times the price. The steel trailers come with duel axels with electric brakes on the rear only and they all come with used tires except possibly the Cadillac brand. You have to install the 4 D rings and also buy all the tow straps. You might want to think of a hand crank pulley to pull the car on board incase it is not running. You might want to have a spare tire mount installed with a spare, and most important a place to store your trailer when you are not towing the Cobra. As far as the enclosed trailers they are really nice and keep the Cobra dirt free and dry but now you need even more money for the trailer and of course a bigger tow vehicle and more money.
