    I have a friend that bought a used trailer that Woodhouse used to use. It is enormous, at least 45 feet long. He was actually longer than an 18 wheeler. Probably illegal in many states. Trailer handles two cars easily, 4-5 sets of tires, tools, go kart, etc. He pulled it with a RAM 2500 for years. He could keep it at 85 without a problem. It was a goose neck with a big overhang for a bed and stuff. I thought he was crazy but the 2500 pulled it. I was impressed.

    That's part of the beauty with the Sport Chassis. The engine, gear box (Allison autos), brakes, rear diff and drive line are all commercial grade. Makes std truck equipment look like Tonka parts. They are expensive new but you can find low mileage used ones for the same price as a new loaded Ford, Chevy or Dodge truck. The Sport Chassis is truly in a class of its own. No CDL needed since its just under the required weight limits

    Interiors are trick and very comfortable with air seats, fold down bed, TV,s etc. Big fuel tanks for great range to cut down on the fuel stops

    I have the optional 'garage' that adds 10 feet and that certainly isn't for everyone since it makes it less friendly to turn around and back up

    GREAT setup!! I was looking at that trailer today. Friend has one. His is 31 ft from door to the beginning of the forward section. Gooseneck. Is yours the same length? Any chance of fitting two cars in it?

    Racingswh....I don't think you can properly fit 2 cars in a 28' trailer, if you could you would not be able to carry any spares for your
    track time.

    We will start having 3 cars at events and the other trailer carries all of our spares. Looks too tight to me as well but it's just sitting there unused. Looks like a 40 ft trailer and is definitely 31 feet of flat floor space from the rear door to the front of the trailer where it starts to angle upward at the forward Gooseneck overhang section. Both cars are 14'7" so too tight. Too bad to because it's just sitting around doing nothing with an old rally car in it.

    Need a Stacker just like Cable does and the Sport Chassis is definitely the way to go for towing it. Need to sell the Dually. lol!!

    My trailer is 40 feet total. 10 of that overhang. Since I have cabinets and stairs in the front, there is no way to fit two cars and even without that, don't think it could be done.

    I'm going gooseneck and a shorter height stacker so I think the dually will be fine. I found the trailer I want, but now I'm screwed I just found out the new Ram's wont even be available to order until after March, so August will be the first arrivals I'm guessing.

    I think you'll be much happier with the gooseneck vs bumper pull. Are the new RAMs that much different? Might be a good time to find a deal on a 2018, but then again, how many dually cummins mega cab long beds are sitting around on the lot, right?

    Yep definitely different. Is there a Mega cab Long bed now? When I got mine which I believe is a 16' because I went with a Crew/Long and wanted a Mega/Long but could not find one built that way. I think mine is only 905 ft lbs with the Aisin trans. New ones make more power and also may have changed the way they configure the Mega cab? AZ what have you found regarding the configurations?

    Final configs for the new HD's haven't been released, but I doubt they'll ever do a Mega with a longbed.
