    Ok it keeps getting worse by the minute: Googled the specs. A 26 foot truck gives you a 23' 5" Deck- would put my 16 foot trailer to shame.. shame.. shame!
    Deck height: 2' 9" from the ground
    Max load: 6,500 lbs.





    A 24' truck would give you a 21 foot deck:
    Deck height: 2' 9" from the ground
    Max load: 7,400 lbs.

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Unless you have enough real estate for two cars, anything more than 18 is a waste really. For hauling cars anyhow, there's a bunch of wasted space on my 22' less I'm loading shred on it. If you added a flip up deck that allowed you load two cars on that u haul, now your cooking with gas. Seen someone's car trailer on here with that flip up deck, think it was a wright brand trailer.
