First a sb 2500 isn't going to handle the weight. Second a wedge style is not an option is a sb due to clearance issues, so the only option is a flat deck trailer like this.

I thought I saw a wedge trailer that held 2 cars and the third was under the deck. Had to unhook the truck to get the car loaded. OK I wanted to see if they made a wedge with the frame setback so as to not hit the cab. I was looking into a bumper pull 2 car trailer but moving 3 would cut down the trips.

Go with the flat deck, 48ft of deck. $6999 new. The belly load is made by wally mo, but its actually a four car.


A wedge on a srw (2500 even worse) is an unstable proposition. The high center of gravity is just not good w/ a srw.

I was concerned about being top heavy without the extra track width in the back. Guess its a flat bed. Thanks.

the 2500 Dodge only has a 6000 RAWR on the short or long bed and thats not enough axle capacity/tire caps for a 3 car hauler if your concerned with being legal. Even a 2 car hauler can overload a 2500 rear axle/tire caps if the first vehicle is heavy. I had the same '01 as yours and its empty rear weight was 2730 lbs which left 3250 for a payload. I stuck with the 2500 truck as I can pick my loads for a short run.
