Could have, but the beemer went with the others on the bottom.
I 99% of the time use the rear tiedowns, and in the front I use axle straps around something solid up front.
This beemer, I simply wheel strapped it.

#### you guys make that sound like a lot of work.
Cottrell 7 car quick loader was so much easier.
But thats OK, it'll be a cold day before I ever haul another car. -
Kwahwah70 Thanks this. -
Friends don't let friends pull quick-loaders!
Actually, for anything less than, oh, 100 miles, the quick on/off times can justify leaving units behind. Further out than that, the extra load time is worth it.
If ya ain't too lazy!!!! -
Thats OK, you don't have an 86" studio sleeper, I did. LOL Pics of my former rig are in my profile pics.
Besides like I said.............. it'll be a cold day before I haul cars again! Very cold..... fleece purchase gone bad will do that to you. -
86" sleeper is simply waste of space that a car could go in.... I like 36" sleeper max of 48" . With Small sleeper and small rubber, I can fit 9 trailblazers on the truck.

86'' versus 36" is only a difference of 50". Aint no trailblazer I've ever seen fit in that. Even them smart cars aint fitting in only 50".
But like I say... to each their own...... it will be a VERY COLD day before I ever crawl in a car hauler! -
No but the 50" is could be the difference between a prius and trailblazer...
you would never have a 86" condo on a true car hauler, only on a fly by night high mount job....largest I have seen on a true 10 car truck is a 60" and that is too big, it takes up too much of the truck to really haul cars. Guess I dont care, as I only need to spend 2 nights a week in the truck so having a small sleeper is not the end of the world.
