Hi,
I will be there for TDE running my black 93 Camaro CMC car. First time driving since aug 2019. Be sure to paddock next to me!
You are also welcome to check out my trailer. I was hoping to sell it next year to buy an aluminum enclosed trailer so timing is not good to sell but will gladly walk you through what to aim for on open trailers.
If you are dead set on keeping the Durango I would strongly urge you to start looking for used aluminum trailers.
Gary's steel trailer is a good example of a lightly built steel trailer that is relatively economical to reproduce without the aluminum premium.
My steel trailer is a good example of a fully decked out trailer that requires a minimum 10k capable 1/2 ton truck with wd hitch but let's me carry everything possible, freeing up bed space.

Lots of pros and cons.
You might find it easier/safer to upsize the tow vehicle than making compromises on the trailer!

I bought this because it was cheap, have been stoked with it so far. I have a custom tire rack on it now. Recommend load leveling springs and class D tires.
You will find that a new cheap-ish trailer is going to need a little tune up from time to time (bearings, wiring, etc).

Attempting to look at trailers this week. Work from home allows me some freedom with my time, yet I am kinda supposed to be working too...haha. Starting with an appointment with Nationwide to see what is on the lot and a possible custom trailer.
The following are possible requirements/wishlist accumulated from multiple sources:
1. Metal
2. Wood deck
3. 20 foot
4. Axel brakes
5. Load leveling
6. Long ramps (might not be not required)
7. Removable fenders (probably not required)
8. Place for tie-downs (seems kinda obvious - I believe meaning extra places)
9. Tilt jack for storage (probably not required)
10. LED lights (probably not required)
11. Drop axel (probably not required)
12. Winch (probably not required)
What else should be considered when getting a trailer for a CMC car?
4a. AT LEAST 3500lb axles
