Lightest Weight 8.5x20 Trailer
I just bought a new 2012 loaded raptor for towing (and some off road fun of course) some cars and mountain biking/motorcycle trips
It's rated for 8000lbs and the heaviest thing I plan on towing is a bentley CGT which is 5400ish pounds leaving me with about 2600 for the trailer. I'd like to get something as light as possible maby something around 2200ish if they make it so I have some wiggle room with maby a 55gal gas drum and maby some sets of wheels.
It has to had its own electronic braking system not that spring loaded crap when you hit the brakes its momentum pushes it forward and hits its brakes.
*I know the drill.... this thread is worthless without pics

You can try a featherlite trailer.
http://www.fthr.com/car-trailers/
You'll see a link on their website that shows trailer weights. They have several that weigh less than 2,000 lbs.

I use a featherlite for my GT3... Pull behind my Audi Q7 TDI.. Can't even notice the weight. Trailer is light enough that a buddy and I can pick up the front and drop on the ball... Just my opinion but Featherlite makes pretty nice trailers...

Love my Featherlite. That being said, if I lived closer or had a little more time to buy one, I'd look seriously at Tommy's Trailers. Probably lighter than a featherlite(which have some steel in them) and they are much lower profile for towing sports cars.

Featherlite. No brainer for the cost ($5K new), easy to mod to your needs. Tows like a dream. 1300 pounds. My Shelby GT350, my Radical, and my GT2 fit perfect. If you want to see pics of my total custom 17' FL just say so and I'll post up. My next move is to dump my 07 FJ (my tow vehicle) and replace with a 14 Jeep SRT with a 7200 tow capacity. Overkill for my track toys but an upgrade for sure over the FJ. My .02.
