Interested in a Futura lowering trailer preferably within 500mi of the SF Bay Area. Open to other options like ATC, featherlite, trailex for low profile vehicles if close by.

I have a Futura that I getting ready to list for sale.
Its a 2021 that is 2 months old. I found an enclosed trailex after looking for a while so now I will be selling the Futura.
Its the ProSport model that is 19'8"
BUT I am on east coast in VA.
I've been looking for a new or useed Futura for several months now. They are like unicorns. Best option right now for me is local dealer says end of August for a new one. I would buy the VA one in 2 minutes if I didn't live 2000 miles away.
I bought my Futura new this year after looking at used ones…they weren’t that much cheaper than new so I just ordered one. Took about 3 months from a dealer in NC
For those that have one, is the Super Sport (16') sufficient or is a Pro Sport (19') the one to get? Futura says the 16' is the most popular for GT2/3/4 owners.
but my friend advises getting a longer trailer for more flexibility in managing tongue weight.
I have the 16 for my 981, it’s perfectly sized for my car. I have to pull it as far forward as it can go to get enough tongue weight so anything longer would just be wasted for me

I have an open ATC for sale. If you're interested shoot me a pm
If you had the stone guard would that still leave enough margin for pulling the car forward to achieve tongue weight?
yep. I pull the car up to about 3 inches from the guard and it’s good. I haven’t tried backing it on to see how that works but I imagine it would probably give you even more room to work with

Do you have a tire rack and do you load the rack with wheels/tires? That would put more weight on the tongue.

yeah, but I think if I didn’t I would just back the car on and it would still be fine without needing the longer trailer. Here’s a pic of my car loaded up on the 16’ with about 11% tongue weight. If I backed it on I don’t think that putting it in the same position would put me over 15%, and there’s about a foot of room to work with if it was too close for comfort.

So your tongue weight is about 450 lbs with the extra wheels and tires loaded up?

500 on the weigh safe hitch scale. I’m going with 3000lb car, 1300lb trailer (per spec sheet) and then 200lb of tires/wheels/tire rack/etc for a 4500lb load. I figure none of those are exact but 500lb seems to cover any major over/under estimations to stay within 10-15%.
