It require more to tow an enclosed, but if you have the tow-beast for it, absolutely go enclosed. I really can't overstate how much of a difference it is. I currently use a 22' vnose with tandem 5k axles. Its more than enough room for the car, all my tools, spare wheels/tires, fuel and whatever else I need with room to spare.

Best of all, you can get a decent new enclosed for the roughly the same price as a featherlite or other aluminum open hauler. For reference, I got mine fully loaded for ~$5k brand new from the factory.

Thank you for stating the difference between an enclosed and open type trailer.
Do you have a link or name of the company where you got your enclosed trailer?
I have a 5.7L V8 Tundra I think it has 10k towing capacity.

Yep. I used a titan with the big tow package to tow mine without any trouble at all.

I got mine at southern trailer depot. It’s a 8.5x22 diamond cargo. Dry weight it about 3k, which leaves 7k capacity with the 5k axles.

You have pictures of it? Did you get a side door exit?

Thank you

I dont have any, but its a pretty standard 8.5x22' white with a v-nose.

I did get the 36" side door and full sprung rear gate.
It look exactly like Diamond Cargo 8.5X20 TVR Cargo Trailer W/ AC | Southern Trailer Depot Cargo Trailer Sales in Douglas GA | Enclosed Trailers Georgia but 2' longer.

You should have seen the stuff that Bob’s front splitter ate Friday morning! He absolutely center-punched a large branch. It was all wedged into the splitter/front fascia when we got back.
