Are you looking for an open or enclosed trailer? Something that has an extreme impact on your tow vehicle, at highway speeds, is something called FRONTAL AREA. Pulling an enclosed trailer with the aero properties of a barn door, at 60-70 mph, takes POWER...especially up a hill... Pulling a car the physical size of a Camaro, on top of an open trailer, is also going to move a LOT of wind/air...

Good luck with a midi-truck...and its smaller frame...and smaller brakes...and smaller tires...and, well, you get the idea...

Talk to the dudes selling trailers, tell 'em what you're haulin', and get their opinions. Then, take that info to your local truck dealers and get their opinions. Somewhere, in all of that, you'll come up with a sensible safe answer...
