 Da eb weightI am looking through trailers to haul the bronco with. I know my bronco probably weighs more than others but I can't imagine it weighing more than 6,500 to 7,000 lbs. Any ideas? I found a good deal on a tandem utility trailer, but hauling weight is maxed at 7,000lbs.

Re: Da eb weight I have a 7,000 lb that works well. Pretty much means you only have 5,000 lbs (total - trailer weight....typically). Zero problems. If I had the dough I probably would have went with the 10,000 to haul the truck, but the 7,000 is plenty for the bronco. I believe there is another thread on this that Casa posted up. I'm 16', but Zilla is 14' and has no issues and quite likes it. Way easier to get places!
That's all I know....still not much! Matt _________________ Her name is Lucy...and well...that's who she is! |

Re: Da eb weight Sounds good guys, looks like I will pull the trigger on this one. 10,000 lbs rated trailer may be a little much for my little ol nissan to pull.

Re: Da eb weight Definitely...especially with deals I've seen on the 7,000 lbs. You'll be just fine and love the security!

Re: Da eb weight Mine is probably heavier than most and I'm in at 4650lbs. A 7k will do...barely. Been hauling mine with a 7k for, gee 5 years now or better.

Re: Da eb weight Let me know Zach, my Dad may be selling his too. Seems similar IIRC to the one you posted. He may be in the same price range.
