Be careful if you load a car backwards on an open trailer. If the trailer is a short wheelbase one, then you might not be able to obtain the correct 60/40 weight ratio. Most cars with engines are front heavy and therefore must be loaded front forward to be sure that 60% of the loaded weight is in front of the trailer's wheels. I speak from experience from my rookie trailering days.
