Yeah, that trailer is a great trailer, he is a good friend of mine.
It would hold 2 blazers with no problem.

Pics of the dovetail and hitch, please.... Hell, just more pics in general! I think this was the trailer that caught my eye last year that brought Scott's K5 back to CO for him. What size ball is it?


Edit: 2 5/16 ball....


Now, buying a trailer before I have a tow rig.... Isn't that like putting on my pants before my underwear....??? Hmm...can I make this work?

Please tell your buddy to email me all the pics he has to rufneck53 @ hotmail dot com. I see he's listed his phone number on the other site, too, so.... Hmmm.....

Scott,

I was seriously considering that trailer to buy; however, I couldn't legally tow it. SiInce there isn't a 1-ton truck out there with a receiver hitch that is rated for a 14K trailer, it might just sit there a while. The best class 5 receiver hitch is only rated to a 10K trailer.

Guess that counts me out.

I wonder what hitch my buddy has on his powerjoke?
Do you think his hitch is only rated for 10k?

Quite certain on the hitch. He probably figured he'd be under the total weight of 10K. Just not legal.

Is there a law that says the hitch has to be rated? You can easily build a custom hitch to meet the 14K trailer capacity. I'd be more worried about the 1400-2000# of tongue weight at the back of the 1 ton truck plus the braking capacity or exceeding the GCWR of the truck then the hitch. Get up to a 1-1/2 or 2 ton truck and I would not be so worried about it any more though.
