so I want to pick up a utility trailer. I'm wondering what size folks have found works best?
this is for everything but camping. e.g., hauling garbage, lumber, gravel, top soil, and heavy stuff. It looks like I am going to be taking on some big reno work shortly so I need something that can dodecent sized loads. I'm looking at an 8x4 with 3500 lb axle, 14 inch wheels, fixed 16" sides, tailgate and removable boat/ lumber rack,. A 10x5 sure is tempting but a fair bit more dough and I wonder if it will be more of a pain to two behind the 80. I'm thinking that the 8' bed is too short for 14' and greater lengths of lumber. I'm also wondering whether removable sides might come in handy.
anyway, post up what has worked for you...
