YES, but with a few requirements. In this case, the mirrors were off, for PPF, not sure how, or if, that will factor in. You better have a good spotter, there is just over an inch and a half or so each side. Next better make sure your arms, and your body are able to reach the clip down points that are under the car (I use a 3 point tie down). You have to be able to reach from the top. You cant reach under, while lying down on floor of the trailer, either around the wheel, or under the car. Lastly, you have to be able to fit through the window (I dont have a side door). The height of the window, is SMALL. I raised the steering wheel to the top, and pushed forward all the way, then put my feet in the passenger seat (shoes off), to start the lift out. Done it twice now, not bad at all. Note this is not for everyone.

This is why I ordered this over 2+ years ago. I figured positive thinking "design and order it and you WILL get one (NFGT)" LOL.

Damn that's tight, I feel much better about my purchase of an 85" wide trailer already although sadly I am still GTless. I would also be worried with the walls so close to the car. My friend had his R mustang slide sideways and hit the trailer wall because the cross strap wasn't properly tightened, it didn't move much but enough to hit the trailer wall.

Here's the trailer configuration I like for tying down our cars using e-track. Easy access through the sides.

Steve, I agree, but we own this one, and I guess I'm stubborn and wanted to know if it worked.
Brian that is a great option as well.
Cobra498, that was one major factor of why I changed our trailer to the 3 point over the wheel (full length e track), vs frame or thru the wheel method. Even if one strap comes out of the e track, there is a positive hold of the wheel in either lateral direction. The cross strap allows the car to wander.
To awesome, that is a nice option too!

I wasn't prompting you to by a new trailer. I know you are not a rookie

Hauled mine to clear bra installer in single car trailer. Winched the car in (nice and slow) and had about 4” at door opening. Once in I had about 10”. My side trailer door is big and after I had it were i wanted it and tied down I tried opening the door and was surprised it could be opened about 80%, this was plenty of room for me to exit the car if I drive it in. It will take someone on the outside to hold the door but can be done. Haven’t tried it in the stacker trailer yet but have my fingers crossed, afraid the lift posts may be close and the door is 6” smaller. Plan to make dry run next week to see if all the clearances will work.

No doubt, but we just had a huge nor’easter storm and the roads here in Massachusetts are pretty salty. I suspect Andy is getting his car wrapped and wants to keep it as clean as possible beforehand. Am sure he will be driving it plenty once there are better conditions.
Yes I have had this trailer since the mid 90's
Some us sadly dont live in AZ. Weather here has been horrible. Alex is correct.

That's a good one. Coming from the one with the record driving AND tow truck miles.

One important thing to remember... the NFGT ‘electric’ brakes will automatically lock the brakes and put the car in park after 30 minutes.
To move the car after that ... You MUST be able to 1) turn the ignition on 2) put your foot on the brake 3) put the car in neutral and release the brake.
MAKE SURE you leave the window open. If not... you may lock yourself out. I also release the trunk so I can get at the Transmission release lever if needed.
