Tow rig... Diesel Turbo.
I dont care who makes it.. there are pros and cons on both sides.. but DO NOT GO GAS.

Diesel is soooooo The way to go.

I have a 94 F-350 Turbo Diesel Non-Powerstroke. And on the way to DGRR towing the race car (ITA FB) I was getting a shake over 16MPG with a non computer controlled diesel doing 68.5MPH.

With the newer computer controlled turbo diesels it isnt uncommon for people driving conservatively while towing to get 20-25MPG on the better rigs.

I just have a small flat open trailer. No brakes, just a tire rack. SIngle axle, andit tows the FB like it isnt there.

I have a lot of friends who simply went to the local trailer place and got your standard roundy round style flat car trailer. 1000-1250 is the going rate for a double axle trailer with ramps. The 1250 will get you electric brakes as well.

If you want a enclosed trailer go to Racingjunk.com They have a TON of enclosed trailers for cheap.

DONT BOTHER to buy a used flat trailer for more than 500 bucks, cause a new one is 1K.
