Some States, like California require four points of contact when securing a vehicle to a trailer. E-track with individual wheel tie downs are hard to beat. If it's good enough for the tow trucks....its good enough for me.Can I make a suggestion? Mount the tire straps to the rear tires or rearmost tires on the trailer. God forbid you are in an accident, it could be possible for the machine to flip over forward. I suppose a way to keep that set up would be to strap down the rear of the machine and maybe there is one back there out of view.
Forgot to post this before we pulled out..

Vineyard I’m thinking about getting a 20 ft trailer. Do u ever wish it was shorter for getting around? I mean 18ft would be fine but once a year we go to HMT and I haul 2 buggy’s they fit on a 18 but a 20 would be easier. Any imput would be appreciated20ft car hauler and pull it with 2017 Tacoma. The Dirty Max doesn't come out until something real has to be pulled.View attachment 78609 View attachment 78609 View attachment 78610

Sounds like a nice setup.I just bought a 12ft aluminum flatbed trailer with a 4ft pullout loading ramp and will be pulling it with a Ram 1500 ECO Diesel.
I have an 18ft x7 ft enclosed slant v it’s got 12 inches of extra height, rv door, I had two windows installed, insulated walls and ceiling, rooftop ac and heat it with small infrared heater, i have a king size bed that folds against wall and tables that do the same wired it for 30 amp electric hookup...I run 28” tires and on my 1000-5 with factory roof and clears just fine....works good for our family of 4 and have less then 7500 in whole setup buying trailer new...if I could do it again I would buy an 8 1/2 wide...towed with 04 Silverado with 5.3 was little much with all gear and machine tools etc. now tow with 19 f250 with 6.2Will be watching. Have been looking to find a enclosed trailer for my 1000-5 Would be nice to hear some advice from experienced
peeps.

I agree!Here's mine on a 20' Rice flatbed (18' with 2' dovetail). I would highly recommend a 20' if hauling 2 machines! View attachment 255971
You sure that has enough pull?Might be too much of a load to haul two...View attachment 125712 View attachment 125713
How much space do you have left over on the trailer ? I was thinking of fitting a talon r and a 400ex on it.
If your going enclosed 8.5 would be the way to go, unless your 5’3 and 100lbs to squeeze out between the walls.I currently pull a 7.5 x 12 H & H utility aluminum with wood floor. Pulls very nice behind my Tundra. I pull it all the way forward which gives me room to stand up another small trailer behind it. I drive about 6.5 hours to where I hunt. mostly highway speeds....70-75 till I hit MN that is. I am currently looking for an enclosed trailer but not sure if I want a 7 or 7.5 wide and either 16 or 18 long. I really don't want the 8.5 wide. Looking at an all aluminum 7.5 x 16 EZ hauler with the 7ft interior height.
