OK, I got back into a vette, a beautiful 2003 MY Z06 with 19K miles. I might want to trailer it behind my Dodge Grand Caravan to take on trips with family.

Any ideas on a reasonable cost trailer?

Thanks in advance.

I love this site! Everyone is so helpful.

I would seriously re-think towing a Corvette behind a mini-van. What is the towing capacity of the van?

For sure check out what your van is rated to tow at. Check out a local trailer shop. I'm sure they could either build or bring one in for you.

Bad idea, those fwd vans are made for soccer moms, kid and groceries, not heavy towing

Car = 3400 lbs, even a featherlite aluminum trailer = 1200 lbs, hitch and accssys. another 100 lbs. Guaranteed that the tow capacity of the minivan is not 4700 lbs. Very bad idea to try to tow the vette behind the van.

The Corvette and trailer will be trying to push the rear of your van around. I have been towing with a trailer since 1975. If you do pull the car with the van make sure your trailer brakes are working.

Don't do it with a minivan. If the trailer is balanced with little tong weight you will be vulnerable to resonant gyrations when slowing down and the trailer will tend to overtake the tow vehicle causing the rear of the tow vehicle to spin around resembling a "pit maneuver". I have witnessed this on the highway (not pretty). If you have more tong weight then you will overload minivan rear axle. Support American workers get a crew cab dually.

In most states its against the law to trailer a Corvette, you must drive them!

Well thanks for all the feedback. Sounds like a bad idea. Guess I will just have to drive it.

You are absolutely right. Towing capacity only 3,600 lbs.

Buy a Ford F350 6.7 Power Stroke Diesel, Then you can pull four Corvettes, two dodge trucks and a Duramax to boot.
800 ft. lbs. Torque at 1500 rpm.

I've trailered my 'Vette twice with a Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 4.7l V8 and towing package. It was pretty rough both times. The Jeep is rated to tow 5000 lbs, and the Vette + trailer is about 5300 lbs. I would not tow a corvette with anything that has a towing capacity of under 7-8K lbs IMO, you can do it but it won't be fun!
