    Great advice. anyone getting into flipping trailers stay away frome "home made" thats the biggest red flag. Usually some junk lightweight camper frame someone tried to bubblegum into a car trailer that shouldnt haul anything close to what it is "built" for. Just say no to home made

    Test pull if you can. Take the seller with you so he doesnt think your stealing it.
  • @mickeysuede2219

    Learn market ! A very good advice indeed. Market makes prices

    I love seeing that you haul these with your Ranger because I have the extended cab version of your truck and always wondered whether it would squat with a car hauler on it.

    In WI you can get a title issued for a trailer but that requires going through the bond process. In WI a bill of sale won't work unfortunately. Makes it more difficult.

    you will be in it more than its worth already. around here that trailer in current shape with new floor maybe 2200

    The only problem I see with this trailer is the 3500 lb axles. That only leaves 5500 lbs to put on the trailer and it is a car hauler. Granted not many cars are 5500 lbs but it does limit the trailer. A landscape company with 3 commercial ZTRs, racks for fuel, the fuel, trimmers, edgers, blowers you would be at the max. Wiggle room is good and ALWAYS use brakes!
  • @J2005ification
    What about bad axels, stay away or are you conformable replacing these? Seen a few in my area that look decent but need a new axel. These seem to be able to be purchased new for around $300 or so for the 3500# and doesn't look like too big a job to replace but noticed you didn't mention this one way or the other in the video.

    What advice can you give me on a bent axle? For example if I see a "good deal" and they have a bent axle on the trailer, should I skip it or consider fixing it?

    In Ohio as long as its under 4k empty you just have to get it weighed and its yours.
