A quick description:

14 feet on the deck
102" overall width, just under 7 feet on the deck
LED tail lights
all legal marker lights - Federal and California
all lights inboard to avoid damage
4 wheel electric brakes
7 foot ramps
steel rollers front and rear to prevent grinding your driveway
a nifty license plate that sits in the centre and drops for loading and unloading
a spare wheel and tire with locking capability
all wiring in conduit
5 pin connector

and ta da! 960 pounds with the 5 wheels and ramps et al

I towed my Cobra at 85 mph yesterday with a 3.0 litre Ranger, without difficulty. You should be able to hit 120 with a Suburban...
in your case with a blower and 900 hp Chrysler 300 tow vehicle it will be like having a ski rack attached - you won't spill the Grey Poupon... haha

Seriously, D Squared's wagon has enough tow capacity to pull the Cobras.. goodbye gas hog F350 and Excursion - I got 17 MPG yesterday with a lot of city miles... close to 20 on the road.

As you know, I wanted a trailer like this for myself - it never occurred to me to make it into a business until I spoke with the other guys.

Oh and by the way every piece of this thing is built from parts made in the USA including the steel. Even the builders were born here in the USA and are proud to be American craftsmen, which of course allows me to follow the current trend and employ foreigners (to me , haha). I think that is only fair to my adopted country.
