Looking at this trailer.Will it pull well with 2nd Gen 4runner.Does it appear to be worth $700.

the floor has beem changed to a flat piece of steel & has a "light "coat of bedliner on the inside

Yes, the 4Runner should tow it with no problem at all. I think $ 700 is a bit high for that trailer. The tub appears a little lopsided and I don't like the lack of the original lunette.

Damn these things are getting expensive!

Very good idea to purchase this one, it is worth the money, and unless you are a military refurbish junkie, build it the way you want. There are so many ways, so little time. Have fun and trail rate the thing. With photos and dialogue.of course.

I agree the tube looks jacked to one side, you might see if it effects the towing on it or not. An unsquare tub will be hard to make a lid for...
