Default Lets See Your Tow Rig!

Post up what you tow with, some specs, miles and mods you've done to the rig as well as the trailer you use. Also maybe any sort of knowledge you've learned with your experiences or why you went with that set up!

1986 Ford F250 6.9 IDI Diesel. Completely stock. I have a turbo kit sitting in storage for it but haven't gotten around to installing it.

BTW, it is a Race Chase removable receiver hitch, so cool, so excellent and can remove when you get to the track or at the show/event.Oh yeah, it multi-tasks too...

2012 Ram 3500 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel 4x4 DRW Crew Cab. 31k miles, 35" Nitto Terra Grapplers, levelled, Ranch Hand front and rear bumpers, engine is stock until it's out of warranty. Trailer is a Vintage 22' enclosed V-nose with built in cabinets, winch, and weight distributing hitch. I am looking for a 36-40' gooseneck so I can have living quarters while the car is in the trailer or have the option of hauling 2 cars.

2014 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel 2WD Crew Cab Short Bed
16' Steel Open Trailer with Wood Deck (1,500ish lbs)

I have gotten as much as 19 MPG towing my S2000 on it. I consider the EcoDiesel the best purchase I have ever made as I can get as much as 29 MPG dailying it to work as well.

After seeing Wynn's truck, I have serious feelings of inadequacy.

'12 F150 Ecoboost, with MaxTow package
24' InTech trailer.
About 8200 lbs load, including trailer, car, tires, gas, tools, generators, etc.

Don't let the pic fool you, it tows very flat. This is only pic I have, and rear wheel is in a hole.

I'm actually in the market for a open steel trailer. Based on everyone's experience should I go 16' or 18'?, should I go with a open deck or a full deck? Electric or surge brakes? If there's any other insight, lmk. If you have any site for good deals on trailers, that would be great.
