Trailer/Towing advice needed
my trailer is just like the black one in the pic. i think my ramp is a little wider and latches diffrent though. it's a 5x10 with 205/75/15 tires on it. paid around $700 to $800 new. i think it weighs around 400lbs. i went with the longer trailer to haul 10'2x4's and 4x8plywood easier. it's nice trailer i'd try to get it cheaper if you can not a bad price though

Is old enough to know better, but too young to stop.

Sounds like a good deal but worth checking into what one just like it would cost new. Even at one year old in excellent shape, you should be getting it for about 80% of the new price at the most.

I agree...he told me $1500 new. I have not been able to verify that though....I can't find any other place local that sells them. Maybe someone could share what a similar Triton would cost new?

Looks like a good trailer for the price!
May want to check your bumper height, to see if you need a drop hitch though. I bought one of those 4x6 trailers at Tractor Supply to pull my Z around, thinking I could use the bumper. Come to find out the trailer was tilted way too much! (my Ranger is a 4x4).

That is a very good point. I haven't measured, so I don't know the exact height. If you look at the picture, you can see the the tounge is offset upward (I'm guessing to counteract the exact thing that you are talking about). Anyhow, after all the good advice I have gotten here, I bought the trailer. I will be picking it up this week.
