If your Tacoma is a 2005 or newer with a V-6 it is rated to pull 6,500 pounds. A long metal serpent express is maybe 2,500 pounds with a 2,500 pound car so I don't see a problem at all as long as you have good working breaks on the trailer. |
A 14' SE comes in at about 1900 lbs and the cars come in around 2500 (give or take) so that's 4400 lbs. I tow mine with an 04 Fort Ranger with a 4.0L V6 @ 207 HP when new. 114K on the truck. Tows very comfortably at highway speeds (70 - 75 mph).

I have had my aluminum Serpent Express for 6 years. If you want to haul a Cobra it works well. If you want to haul extra tires, parts or Yeti's and Igloo's, get a larger trailer. They also fit into most garages which works well with subdivision restrictions. I would recommend the two axle brakes and all the zippers you can get on the sides. Front opening has been useless to me after I installed my winch. I would buy another one if I needed another trailer for Cobra transport.

DWRAT……There is a post by serpent express on FFCARS that list all the trailers he has build. One guy is looking to sell his express. I suggest you contact the builder for names and locations of units for sale. Good luck. By the way I have used both his express and my own frameless dove tail trailer. The express is great for storing a car but for transporting I prefer the open trailer.

I've got a Serpent Express for sale. Just out side of Portland, OR. SE09 I think. Asking $3000. 16', beavertail, 4 wheel electric brakes, brand new radial tires ($650.00), spare tire, interior light, 3/4" plywood over 2 x 6 deck, in floor tie downs, good shape and tows like a dream. I've towed this all over the west coast and it has performed flawlessly. If interested call or email and I'll send pictures.

Not even 100% sure I really want a canvas trailer in AZ. |
For that price you could make a trip get it and still be ahead. The Canvas sides are fine out here. I believe there at least 5 Serpent Express in the state, most in Phoenix and Tucson.

Wanted: Used Serpent Express Trailer
I'm looking to buy a used Serpent Express trailer. Please let me know if you know anyone that may be wanting to sell theirs.
|
You could ask Danr55 and Mesa Dave. Both are AZ CC members. They are the only ones I know that own one. They very rarely use it so who knows?
|
We have one that we would sell cheap. Needs some work because it's just sat around for a few years but you will come out dollars ahead.
