Get a Winch. It is a good investment, you wont regret it.... I dont have a "escape" door on mine,,,so getting in and out would be tough. I LOVE having a winch....use it all the time...makes loading and unloading a breeze,,,, What size trailer did you get ? looks nice,,,with all the diamond plate... Doug

no realy i have a hand crank 1.
You'll use that......once. Then you'll go buy a winch. The come-along will make you want to shoot yourself, ask me how I know.LOL Trailer looks great Mike! I got tired of all the work with the box trailer and the big expensive truck it requires to pull it, I switched to a Durango and borrowed an open trailer yesterday, seemed more relaxing and less work, = more fun. Good luck with it, they are nice when it rains. Plus you can unload it when you feel like it.

get a winch . what till its 95 degrees and you raced till midnite then start cranking by hand .I have a electric winch with a 30' cord for 7 years they make the remote controll you don't have a cable going to get that now.IMO you say you got a good deal so spend some more on the next thing to make your racing fun and easier. also you can wire through 12v truck harness to winch . don
