Kids old man passed and he had no use for this 7X16 trailer, electric brakes and slide out ramps. Trailer is dated 9/07 and pulls straight as an arrow :thumbsup

Nice Trailer! My guess (from the looks of it) is that you're setting it up for bikes...

I was just looking at it and thinking that the wheels might be a little far back for cars, you'd get alot of tongue weight... Not knockin it, just saying... It looks similar to how my mom's neighbor's trailer is setup... Which is very tongue heavy...

Woot! Is that your garage? Damn, that's a helluva lotta space.

Trailer was scored for 800 bucks, it was the one in Johnson Creek listed on Craigslist with no phone number. I guess I shot off my second email at just the right time, cause he said my email was on top of his inbox and he called 5 minutes after I sent my email.

Joe, thats what I am kinda worried about. I'm setting it up for bikes for the Daytona trip, but I wanted to use it for moving cars as well since it comes with car ramps and such I figured it could handle it. The wheels are pretty far back on the trailer though, I'll have to measure it next time I'm out at the shop.

This shop is at 124th and Capital* behind Culvers, it's not mine but I have access to it for a buck a day :) The guy who owns the Culvers there, Hwy 100 location that we all love, and the ones in New Berlin are all owned by Brian and this is one of his buildings. :)

I'll see if I can get a pic of my mom's neighbors trailer. We use to tow it with my '95 Grand Cherokee, and my dad's '97 Tahoe, and it was a bear with either once a car was on it...

:rolf I have some stories from using that trailer... Including bringing back a Camaro from Green Bay... The only thing that sucked about that was that it was so tongue heavy that we didn't do anything over 50-55 since it didn't feel safe... And that was in the Tahoe...

It was setup very similar to that one, except heavy duty (made for old farm tractors), and did have trailer brakes..

P.S. I was unaware of a Culvers on 124th and Greenfield... :goof

Oops, 124th and Capital. And this one does have trailer brakes.

Ok, so they're probably setup really similar...

Any idea where it was purchased from originally? His was from Tom's Trailers in the Falls..

That will be a good car trailer now you need a wench for the bulk head to pull rollers up!

I guess the easiest way to find out is to load up a car and see how it feels, eh? :rolf

pork,

I don't think you'll have problems pulling that trailer with cars on it using your truck just be sane with how far you pull the car up on the trailer. BTW what is it dual 3500 axles? so 5000# trailer??

Thats good to know, thanks for the info!

Dual 3500's yes
