How long is the typical Jeep and can you fit a slightly shortened Mazda and a Jeep on a 24' gooseneck?

i doubt it....a stock CJ or YJ is ruffly 13.5' long. unbless your truck is significantly shorter then a jeep it will nof fit. i think you will need something closer to 30'

Not buying, borrowing so I just take what I can get.
Mine and conlee's will fit, my jeep and scotts patrol will fit, and mine and alleys will all fit on a 24' gooseneck.
There is still hope!
but chadnutz....there is no way that your mazda is as short as a CJ/YJ. and remember josh's jeep is a cj5 so it is atleaste a foot shorter....

Mancuso regularly hauls 2 wranglers on his trailer, which I beleive is 24'.
I'm going to measure it and take about 1 foot off.
Remember you can hang the ass of the back, or the front...whichever the longest is...

You just need to measure the complete length of a tj/yj/cj7 or cj5 and the length of your mazda from front to end of contact patch of rear tires. I'm thinking it might work with a cj5, but not a cj7. You could build some little extensions to bolt on to the end of the trailer if you need another foot or 2. Weight distribution should still be fine.
My typical little jeep is 14' 5". Subtract 13" of tail and then 10" of wheelbase for a cj7/yj/tj or 22.5" or 19.5" for a cj5 and you get 12' 6" for yj/tj/cj7 and 11'6 or 11'9 for a cj5. I think Nick's got a short one, but I'm not sure.

My truck measures 15 feet long. I plan to make a flat bed so I'll lose about 16". From the front bumper to just past the rear tire is 12 feet. It will be close. I'll need to go out and measure this trailer. It is a brand new low boy with runners all down the side to walk on and ramps. I asked this friend if I could borrow a trailer to tow my car home a while back and he let me use this old junker but it was too short. I saw him at Cross Canadian and he told me about this new trailer he had that I would really like. He offered.....I didn't even have to ask.
I have all the parts I need for a hitch and a stainless ball. It looks like I'm going to have to redo the exhaust because it is in the way.
Go Ford.
Mazda goes in the warehouse this weekend to become friends with the torch and grinder.
Since its a low boy you can probably put part of the front vehicle into the neck and get the tires of it all the way up to the front rail, if there's no bracing in the neck.
ah yes but remeber that Scotts vehicle i believe has a 120" wheelbase or close to it. This is bigger than a yj-tj, you'd be suprised what you can fit onto a 24' trailer.
