You'd probably have to look at something like a big F-250 to get that done.
Well, I'd like an older F-250... but my guess is you need a Diesel F-250 SuperDuty w/ duallies, and a gooseneck. Chances are stopping is the hard part, not going... you'll need a pretty heavy truck out front to be able to slow that thing down w/o getting pushed all over the place.

The trailer costs $6000 new, and has two 7000 lb axles, so it should be able to haul 14000 lbs of cars! :shock:
