I absolutely love this little trailer. I know that it gives dimensions, but it is still bigger than what you think. I've used this trailer to move a 1600 sq ft home of 6 people. I was beyond impressed with how sturdy the springs really are. I built a cage system for it out of 2x4 and 1x4 and I could not be happier. We have an expedition and with a family of six, this trailer frees up so much room on long trips. It did not even decrease my fuel consumption. I added a couple more clearance light for fun. You will not be disappointed.

I drive and build V8 Fiero's. I needed a way to haul spare motors and parts around while still driving my stock Daily Driver Fiero. This was perfect. As a test, I ran this up to 100mph with close to 1000lbs loaded on it and it towed straight and true, I used a laser point thermal gun to check the hubs and no issues. Been 5 years of Surrey BC Canada to Aurora Oregon and back and not a single issue. Using a plywood deck and straps I added a "strap box" and its has been a great utility trailer. Only caution is importing it to Canada was a pain in the butt. Cost me more than I paid for the trailer. However well worth it in my opinion.

I bought this trailer cause i need to haul some stuff from Austin TX to San Diego CA and back. I bought this put it together and used some plywood for the bottom and sides. I used my 2000 Honda Civic and towed it with no problems. I traveled at about 70mph the whole time (the manual says do not go over 55) but there were no issues. I checked the hubs when we stopped and they weren't hot or anything that would indicate some thing was wrong. All-in-all i towed this thing 3000 miles with a load any where from 200-500 lbs. and it worked great.

Our yard trailer had just about had it and before putting down $75 in new wheels and tires on a rusty trailer, I decided to upgrade to the 40x48 with 12" wheels. The price was right. My brother actually picked the trailer up from the store and he called me twice to make sure I had told him the right model number, because he had only received (2) boxes. Well, get it home and unpacked and I was suprised how well this trailer was packed. Assembly was simple. I appreciated that 90% of the bolts and nuts were the same throughout the trailer. We were sure to make sure the frame was square, as other reviews had warned. All and all, I am impressed and looking forward to its first load. I believe instead of plywood, which I could forsee falling apart after a few saturations, I think I will floor it with 2x6 and fabricate a 1x4 wall kit. After assembly, I think I actually will install a hitch on my Toyota Corolla and take off trash and pick-up large items, instead of taking the hunting truck to town. Very pleased.

I had local welding shop cut the tongue ($25.) and add 20" length for rack to haul canoes and kayaks. (He even painted it.) I can load four canoes or kayaks and haul easily. Building this trailer was a breeze, taking about four hours, caring to check alignment frequently prior to tightening bolts. Trailer tracks well and I appreciate the 12" tires... makes for smooth operation. Neighbors already lining up to borrow it. I might end up making several trailers this summer.... lifting canoes onto rooftop carriers isn't as much fun as it was twenty years ago.

I purchased this trailer as a tow behind for my Honda ATV on long Forest Service road trips. The only complaint I have is the springs are too stiff. I removed the 2 shorter leafs and that helped a lot. I think you could put a ton on this thing before the springs flexed.This trailer is the perfect size to put [@] X-Cargo carrier on which is what I did.I am very pleased with this trailer.

I purchased this trailer a little more than 3 years ago to haul my motocross bike with. In that amount of time, I have yet to get a flat tire or encounter any defect with this product whatsoever. I perform regular maintenance on the wheel bearings and despite logging more than 7000 miles, I am still using the original set.

My tow vehicle is a 1998 Honda Civic which still manages to get in excess of 35 miles per gallon while towing this trailer with approximately 500 lbs of payload.

If you build this trailer to spec, properly maintain it, and don't exceed the maximum speed rating for the tires for long distances, it will be the best money you ever spent. I would however advise checking the tire air pressure more often than usual as my tires lose a few psi every week.

I purchased 3 of these trailers. I sold 2 to my motorcycle buddies. The third I kept. Added plywood to the bottom and purchased a [@] carrier which I modified. Tracks great as long as you square up the trailer properly. Went over 3K miles on one trip. I highly recommend this to pull behind a motorcycle staying with speeds no greater than 60 mph unless you purchase radial tires (8 ply) and then you can exceed 60 mph.

One Great little trailer for places of narror trails or limited road sizes. The only real problem is that the tail lights are not protected when you set the trailer on the back side. I simly didn't have them on for off road operations. Other than that hreat trailer.
And I would recommend it for small offroad payloads. And most of todays stuff I wouldn't recommend at all.

Had this for 5 years, tires seldom go flat even with it just sitting there. Great little item. Made the deck with plywood but would recommend metal or metal roofing instead. Lasts longer. Get the spare tire when you buy it, not that I had trouble but 12 inch 4 lug tires are hard to find sometimes. Totally recommend it. LIke the other guy says, I have a car and I have a 4 x 8 truck box when i need it.
