Need trailer advice

Chesapeake · Guest

That sounds like the limits for towing from the bumper. If you have a hitch mounted to the frame, the limits should be a bit higher, probably 500/5000. I would keep the trailer relatively small. Maybe a 5x10 - 6x12 single axle which are rated just over 2000# gvrw. The only problem I see is if you are hauling water.

Here's a link to all the specs. including the gvrw and towing capacity of a 2004 ranger.

I am using a 5 x 10 open trailer and have already out grown that size with just roof and house wash equipment. I have a 6 x 12 enclosed that I may change over (still full of tools from my old life) but I'm now thinking more of a cab over with no less than a 14' box.

Their is only one, only one advantage of pulling a trailer oppose to a flat bed or a box truck, they are inexpensive to buy, their is not no other advantage I can possibly think of!

Most guys already have a truck so the first thing they do is go buy a trailer.

Its not about truck or trailer. I need enclosed for a hot water set up that will be used infrequently. I need to be able to keep it at my house out of the weather.
