Car Trailer

[Reese69]

hi guys looking at buying my first car trailer -

just finished reading the trailer thread and what i am looking at sounds the goods - i am only a little worried about the bed size -

i have been advised it is - tray 3.740x1.800

would this fit my R33 gtst? just want to know if it will fit and be suitable ? has cover front end and ramps fold up..

if anyone has a trailer with similar bed size could i have your opinion.

thanks

No I don't believe it will fit.

Measure your car from the very front to the very back, then measure the width of it.

Having the front cover will reduce the amount of over hang you can have at the front and likewise having foldup ramps will also reduce all the rear overhang you can have there too. Actually I don't think you will be able to have any trailer that has fold up ramps.

will measure and check tomorrow.. thanks

Tilta trailers in QLD

Eastern States problem!

They ship these things for a few hundred.

If Canberra is too far from QLD then Perth Western Australia must be another country. There are literally everywhere over here and great resale value. One was on the market last week for about 2 hours as I understand and was sold at a price not far from new.

I swear by these trailers, takes me about 7 minutes to load/unload trailer on my own with a R33 GTS-T. Drive up, tie downs on front wheels and lock pin at the front.

To be honest any other trailer is just frustrating to use, dirty and hard to load.

Can someone PM me a price we would expect to pay for a tilta? Just starting research now and that would be really helpful...

Do they make a tilta with a full floor?

No full floor is ghayyyyyy

They were at the MotorEx show a few weeks ago in Sydney, prices were in the 7's from memory.

so at that price pint your not far off a basic nevco

you are miles away if you are comparing apples with apples. The Tilta with a few option would come in at $8k rego and GST
