14ft enclosed trailer (perfect for miata or smaller car)

Post by Ian Stewart »

Bought this trailer to haul my Z, but it is about a foot too short

It's a great little trailer.
Dual Axle
Rear ramp door
8' wide X 13'6" long X 5' high
lowered car friendly dove tail
numerous tie downs
side door

trailer is low enough to fit inside a garage

Remember with an enclosed trailer you can put etrack strips on the sides and use adjustable shoring beams to create a storage "loft" or tire rack. Even in a short height trailer there should be room over the hood area to store some stuff this way. A short trailer like this would fit in most driveways and be away of storing a dedicated autocross car and tires "out of site". Just have to have a really small car!

If you can't visualize the shoring beams come take a look at my toyhauler this weekend. We can carry a whole bunch abover the car. Of course, my trailer ceiling is 8-9ft depending on location.

Wasn't Chad looking for a 14" long trailer?

An Exige would have 7 inches to spare at each end!

I almost wonder if you'd need to have access doors installed in the front to get to tie downs?


Ian needed to have a "220Z". :lol:

Poor Chad!...but the trailer you got is nice... you'll be happy.

Ian, what are you asking?

Steve, yes, I'll swing by & talk trailer this weekend - thanks :)
No, Mako -- you do NOT need to supercharge your new Miata! ...cuz now it's my turn to take it to the track :)
hmmmm... it is no longer "new" -- is it time to get faster?

Hi Karen,

Asking 3200 obo on Craigslist

cash money talks though... :king:

Steve, actually your 220 assessment is painfully acurate as my z did fit in the trailer much easier after the experience on the roval :oops:

I think an enclosed trailer would be pushing the tow limit for your 4-runner.
