I agree with other post re trailer, go for 24 ft , 5200
pound axles and get
a driver side door.
300's are heavy up front , I would always put the car
front first in the
trailer if you are going to travel any significant
distance, for trailer
stability you want a little more weight in front of your
axles , not behind
them...my 2 Cents...
As a side note, I pulled into a weight station in Canada
once and they gave
me a warning ticket because ; with a regular drivers
licence, which is what
I have, you can only haul up to 9,900 pounds,( I did not
know that!) and
the trailer with 5200 axles totals 10,400! To fix this,
they told me to go
to a DMV and get the trailer weight lowered to 9,900
pounds on the trailer
registration papers ...and that would make it all legal!!
This may not apply to the US...but if it does, and you buy
a new trailer ,
you may want to check the towing limit allowed by a
regular drivers
licence...

Subject: [Chrysler300] Trailer Size?
Hi Everyone,
I'm sure this must have come up at some point in the past
but I'd like
to open a discussion as to what to look for in a enclosed
trailer sturdy
enough to handle the largest of the 300's. I currently
have a 20' open car
carrier with a steel deck that weighs around 2300lbs empty
with 3500lb
axles. Add a full size brute to that and I'm running at
maximum. Shall I
assume an enclosed trailer same length will then need to
upgrade to 5000lbs
axles to cover the weight of the car and the trailer? What
about length?
Will a 20' enclosed give me enough room to get in front of
the loaded car,
and down on the ground to work the tie downs up front?
What about trailer
construction? Why is a Haulmark Edge twice the price of
others? Do I need a
door on the drivers side of the trailer to get in and out
of the car?
Appreciate any input.
Mike Laiserin
