Taylor is the only youtuber to trick me into watching him do anything from building cars, to cutting grass, to buying stuff he already had. 😄

[@buildingsalvage]

Seeing some people chirp in the comments but seems like Taylor’s just wheelin and dealin to find what setup works for him. I guess if you don’t like this content I get it but I love it. Helps me visualize what I want out of a dream shop/hauling set up.

[@Taylordrifts]

Does nobody remember the part in the OG video on the bus where I said we were going to get another enclosed trailer? 😂 I meant to put it in this video just to prevent the “you can’t make up your mind” comments. It’s just one of those things. You learn as you go and experience things. Goosenecks for example. I said I would never own a non gooseneck enclosed. But then we broke down with a gooseneck and couldn’t find a truck anywhere to rent that could tow it. Lesson learned. Also for all the “there’s no drifting anymore comments” well there would be if people would watch the videos. But nobody watches them. So I just go drive and don’t film it. I just film the big events and comps and even then.

[@HerkaDerpa419]

Hey brother, pretty sure it was mentioned in the vid. Plus the flexibility of two separate car haulers has obvious positives. Love all the content, don't let the hater jibber jabber get you down. The fans are here for all of it, garage concrete pours to sprinklers and bus, to bmw. Rock on brother 🤘🤘

[@Taylordrifts]

@@HerkaDerpa419 it just gets so frustrating when you lay everything out and people just don’t listen. And the fact that if you change your opinion on something people act like you were lying when in reality it’s just learning from experience and changing your outlook.

[@3VJohnny]

Yeah you mentioned it previously. People don't pay attention or read very well these days haha. I've been following you for 3-4 years now and it's been pretty impressive to see you grow. Anyone who has an open mind is going to learn there are different ways of doing things or a better tool for the job for their application. The bumper pull trailer makes perfect sense for you. You don't want to get pigeonholed and find out that you can't get a truck to pull it if you ever had a problem. You made the right move. People just don't pay attention and can be judgy.

[@edellenburg78]

Another nice feature about a tonged pulled trailer is you can still use the bed of the truck for stuff and have a camper top to make it water proof if need

[@Blake91818]

You’re all over the place with these videos man.

[@pearlbluesoul]

Honestly, I feel like this is a chase for “right tool for the job “. Which is kind of interesting from a channel that prides itself on making the right tool for the job… But I suppose, some things are hidden/obscured when expectation isn’t quite meeting reality. All I’m saying is, I’m waiting for the final boss where we get a set up with a toterhome and matching trailer lol

[@Taylordrifts]

It takes trying things to truly learn what works. The ford with the old trailer was a great setup. We ran it for a long time. But I hated having a truck payment and when it failed and we had the first hand experience of that whole process with a newer truck. I decided to get back into something I own outright. We also learned that with a gooseneck. If you break down. You’re kinda screwed because it’s very hard to rent a truck that’ll tow a gooseneck. It’s about evolving and changing from what you learn along the way. I got my old trailer and built it out around my miata and what I would bring to the event with it. Which doesn’t quite equate to the vettes program. Etc etc.

[@Taylordrifts]

Also most solid toter setups cost more than everything I own combined. Lol

[@brianmchattie157]

I would highly recommend looking into putting the carpet 3' up the walls at the bottom. It will help keep the trailer looking much nicer over time and add a very nice aesthetic. I would also highly recommend wrapping the outside of the trailer. Even if its a solid color like whats there, it will protect the finish of the aluminum from the UV rays and minor scratches as well as keep it nicer looking for resale value.

[@justingould3891]

Congrats on the new trailer. Totally understand having both for different events. Great work guys. Love to see your channel and driving skill grow.

I know that to some people that it doesn't make sense to get a trailer to haul cars when you have a bus that does the same thing. But I am seeing it in a logical sense of using both equipments and a backup plan. As you stated, you got the trailer to be able to still go to events whilst repairing the bus and can still use the combo after you fix the bus. You're thinking logically and realistically.

[@donlatimer5114]

Taylor, maybe you should get a hold of rights trailer and see if they would be willing to work on your bus , if so tell them all your problems and your plans for the bus and see if they can help you out , might be cheaper and faster for them to work on the bus while you are out running the circuits in the trailer ..

[@Taylordrifts]

Thank you! I appreciate the support! It wouldn’t be possible without you!

[@jairo.cabello]

Because is not a gooseneck, this also means you have the whoooole space in your truck's bed for carrying stuff. You can put a lot of tyres in the bed, and even build a nice rack for carrying them out.

[@run-cnc]

This will mostly be for towing behind the bus as he mentioned.

[@jairo.cabello]

​@@run-cnc I think his whole point was to use the trailer (with the truck) for competitions, so that in case the truck breaks down a replacement is easy to find. Then, the bus is for leisure, more casual non-critical events where he stays sleeping in the track. At least that's what I understood!

Congrats on all your hard work dude it’s paid off .

[@clay3580]

Sounds to me the beginning of the end of the bus. Knowing what it costs to maintain a large bus/RV, spending over 30k on a trailer does not look good for the future of the bus. I pull an 18’ car hauler behind a 44’ RV giving a total length of 65’ and it’s Looong. Maneuvering is a challenge. Now towing a 28’ race trailer behind a 45’ bus giving a total 80’ will be a nightmare to maneuver. As experienced as I am driving my rig, I would not want to do that kind of length.

Hi from Australia, we're big on trailers too down here. Dont know if you have much experience with bumper pulls. But please be weary of tongue/ball weight as you load and customise your trailer as it will drastically change the characteristics of your tow setup. Congrats on the new trailer!!

[@floodx4947]

I can actually relate to what I think the real 'issue' is. When your job or your hobby revolves around working on a vehicle, the last thing you want to do it work on a 'tool'. And that is what your transporter is .. a tool. Time spent working on the bus, or the truck, or an old trailer is time NOT spent working on your race car. When I ran my circle track car, I just wanted to load and go. I hated if I had to work on the truck or trailer.

You should look into slag rock instead of gravel for that trailer pad. Slag is cheaper and it packs down hard like concrete, very little to no dust. I'm glad I went with slag for the driveway

Try using a weight distribution hitch for the new trailer. I use one now for my bumper pull enclosed and it is way more stable than before. Probably not quite as good as gooseneck but very similar.

With r2 handy, could you fabricate a tyre/wheel rack that you load into the bed of the truck. That way you could mount and load up the rack in the shop and before you leave, fork it into the bed for transport to the events. Get home, unload and have it near the tyre machine ready to be prepped for next time

[@3VJohnny]

Congratulations Taylor! Intech makes some of the best trailers on the market. Excellent excellent choice! I have a gut feeling, the ease of loading with the trailer is going to have the bus used less and less. Really hard to picture that staying around when it is more cumbersome to load up. But I am excited to see what you ultimately do! I'm getting ready to order myself my first ever brand new trailer in the next few months as well. Going to be used for camping and any utility around the house. Like yourself, it is cheaper or just about the same price to get one customized to your needs and tastes out of the box. And the quality is usually different if you're actually shopping apples to apples and the price difference like you noted, is so minimal.
