It looks like you're going to get a real good deal on a truck no matter what you end up buying.
If it was me, looking at caps that cost $3k with options, I'd sell that open trailer and buy a used enclosed. Reduce a bunch of the security stuff, leave the truck bed open for hauling tall stuff. Plus, the C4 wouldn't be sittin in the snow with a cover on it. |

Yea, and if you come home from a long race weekend, all you have to do is shut off the truck. No unloading anything that someone might ripoff. Trailer dealers are hurting as bad as the car dealers right now. I see new 20' as low as $4,500 and eve Haulmarks for $6k, new. |

Geez. Why not just drive the car to the track. I see people drag soooo much shit out there that they spend more time unloading than racing. Its not like you're an NHRA team doing engine rebuilds between runs.
I guarantee for every dollar you spent on a trailer you're going to spend $10 more filling it with crap that will only get used when people ask to borrow it. I assume you're not one of those guys who waits until he's at the track to find out his car needs some work. Even for the dragstrip when I wanted to get there quick for tech I've thrown the jack and drag radials in back. I can carry a set of 4 race tires and a jack in there if I wanted to. |

Lucky for you, all you have to do is wait for The Veterans Day Extravaganza. Prices like you've never seen before or will ever see again. Or you can pick up a turkey of a deal later this month. If your still not ready, December is a traditionally slow month for vehicle sales because everybody is spending for X-mas. Year end clearance and they'll be practically giving the stuff away.
It's Insane !!! |

The dealer just called.
As I figured the rebates that were in place in Oct are still in place for this month, no surprize. But get this the rebates on the 3/4 tons have gone up CONSIDERABLY. He's looking at one now that I could get for the same amount of $$$ as I was looking at the 1/2 ton. |

My 1/2 ton, 2 wheel rides like a Caddy even with the helper springs I put on. I wasn't satisfied with the amount the rear sank when I hook up the trailer. I don't use a load leveler hitch and the tongue weight is about 500, the trailer weight is under 4000. The helper leafs did a good job. If I get another truck, I'm going to look at 3/4s but definately will drive both before I decide. |

So, you're lookin' at borrowing $6k in cash from them?
I always wanted to see the numbers run- cash back at their finance rate vs 0% financing vs paying cash outright. |
