what are the weight ratings on those?
and how old were they
That was last weekend. They are "C" rated and about a year old. They are 205-75-R15's, rated at 1650lbs. This is what the trailer came with, so I never really questioned. In the future I will be purchasing 225-75's with a D rating. They are good to 2450.
Hankook F19 or TH06 have been the best trailer tires I have found. They hold up well on our cattle trailer and have done a good job on the red GN.

I saw this one on CS CL. I like it for the 102" width, the little toolbox, the jack, and the 7k axles. Price is only a couple hundred more than mine was too.
That is everything my trailer should have been... :angry:
mine too but for 4 times the price of what I paid for mine my piece works great
Thank you for bumping this thread. I need a trailer to start hauling Rancho Grande (the tacoma) around on behind the Power Wagon. The wheelbase on the Tacoma is 121 inches and it will probably be between 75-80 inches wide from outside of the tire to outside of the tire on the front axle. What kind of bumper pull should i be looking at to keep weight to a minimum, and be able to comfortably pull this thing around on?
that is 700 more than mine was with spring loaded ramps. check these guys out: http://www.candmtrailers.net/
I think Trout is where Knoeller's Dad got their trailer. They are a fine Porter based business.
You could probably get away with an 18ft car hauler with 3500lb axles. BUT, i would suggest 5200lb or 6000lb axles. When I was looking a few years ago, the price seemed to jump when you went to the 7k, but the one posted above seems to be reasonably priced.Quote:

Make sure whatever you buy has new trailer tires, and not retreads
Steel deck v. wood deck is a toss up. You could hear arguements for both, but a treated wood deck is going to be a little lighter.
At 80inches wide, you are not going to need to worry about drive over fenders. My trailer is 83" between the fenders and I sqeeze all 86" of Bronco through them.
I would look for a 20' trailer, treated wood deck, dovetail, 2 6lug axles with brakes on one, 2 5/16th bulldog, good beefy tiedowns, LEDS, and new tires with a spare.
the biggest thing is that a treated wood deck is alot lighter than a steel deck
im curious what the weight diff is. the title on my work trailer says 211, which seems light to me.
if i were to buy another trailer i would get one a little longer, mine is 18 and often i could use another foot or two. so 20 or 22 but probably not 24. then agian i haul alot of random stuff around
