if resale is a factor 18' is the way to go
16' will work but limits what you can put on it

Depends on what you use it for...just a car?...then 16' is fine...car and pit scooter?...18' minimum...car and pit golf cart...20-22"...also, regardless of the length you choose be aware of the way it is made in case you want to mount a storage box or winch...

Red Vette, C5, car only has worked for us for 4 years. !6ft. Really depends on what else you are taking with you. We put all the gear in the Durango and Paul Jrs scotter straps to the front of the trailer. Did the entire NMCA event on the East Coast except ATCO last year. We've logged about 40,000 trouble free miles.
