I had (and recently just sold) a Texas Rollback trailer - solid deck. It was far and away the easiest trailer to load a low car with a large front overhang. With a winch on the front I was able to easily load a non-running car by myself. Texas Rollback is long out of business, but Sloan still makes them.
Glen, a couple of other variables such as cost and weight. Cost is obvious but weight matters for both the tow rig capacity as well as fuel mileage.
I found a nice used featherlite years ago, $4500 and 1500 lbs. Bought a set of race ramps, ($300?) and have no issues with an ACR splitter.
Mine came with a nice airdam with spares carriers on the backside. (both are great to have).
I see the guys with the tilt trailers and they look nice. I don't know the specs. Keep asking folks for the pro's and con's. Lot's of nice used trailers on craigs list, and racejunk. Good luck, Mike
i have a sloan roll back as well. they are nice and convenient. pull really nice as well.
Thanks for the information!

Here is mine in 20' length. ATC all aluminum with gravel guard. Fenders are low so no need for removable type. 84" ramps.
Have 20' Maxey air ride. Has 2 compressors and trailer drops right down to 0 on the rear- u just drive on and put the air to it and upshe goes. I added a winch which makes it pretty nice
18' Sloan Kwik load tilt trailer is nice for almost everything but still was too steep of an angle to clear my 08 ACR even with the track extension removed. Ended up getting a set of 67" race ramps designed for roll backs and now we set the trailer on top of the ramps. It's an added step but now allows the car to be loaded at race height WITH the track extension installed. The only trick is you need to be on level ground or a decline as the trailer is now landing on top of the ramps instead of going all the way through its tilt path and contacting the ground.
What is your budget ?
Still looking for a trailer? I might be selling mine. I've got one of these with a air dam, spare tire and tire straps.

I'll send you pics if interested. I think the trailer was around $6k new, delivered. I've only used it once, been in storage and I got it earlier this year. I'd be willing to sell for $5,000 + delivery and include Mac's tie down straps that go through the wheels.
