Hi everyone, I ordered a 77x12 tandem utility trailer with 3500# axles with some extra features like led lights, side mesh, side steps, adjustable height coupler, and heavy duty diamond steel fenders. I keep my trailers for ever, I'm ordering this one because my old 6x10 trailer was totaled and the insurance paid for it so this time I'm building one as hd as possible so it last a long time.
Not going bigger because I have never had any need for something bigger but I wanted more payload capacity so that is why I'm going tandem. I actually wanted even more for those rare occasions but the only way would be by building one with 6" frame instead of 5" which is the way the build it but he said it would cost a lot more and I can't go more. The current payload would be around 5500#.
I have the option to upgrade the axles to dexter brand with never adjust brakes for an extra $500 and I'm willing to pay the difference but I'm wondering if is worth the extra cost?
The current brand they use is sure trac or something like that from south carolina.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
