[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 879044, member: 9096"] Well, I considered gooseneck, but it's not worth it for us... this will have 6,000 lb axles, LED lights, 16' 8lug rims, 20' deck, spare tire, ramps (no stowage, I'd be dragging it too often). the trailer empty will weigh 2100 lbs, which means I can load 5T on it excluding tongue weight. around here you need a different drivers liscense for trailers over 10,000 lbs, which I don't have and don't feel like getting (yet). I considered a goooseneck 24ft 24,000 lb trailer, but they're close to $12000, they're heavy as hell even empty, I was towing a 5ton truck on a bumper pull 24000 lb trailer and had no complaints about how it handled, though a D3 cat (8ton) was a bit much... with the 5 ton on the trailer I was able to hold 80 kph (50 mph) on a 10% grade. I decided to go with a light, cheap and convenient trailer that'll do what I need.. my total bill excluding tax is $4000 [/QUOTE]
