    I tow my RV all the time, I do have electric brakes on it. Sure, THEY said it could not be done, I proved it can be done.

    Interested in the CB radio. What kind of antenna do you have? How is the CB mounted?

    I am willing to guarantee my rating to the limit of the fee paid to me for the advice. Receipt required.

    I think as long as the tongue weight is 100 lbs or less, there should be no problem. And it’s only occasional use. That’s a neat trailer.

    I ordered a torklift for my 2014.

    I'll probably get one of those 3x5 trailers.

    I'd like to go bigger but I have a steep grade from any shopping area to my house.

    Too small. I have a 5x8 and should have gone a week bit bigger. It's the tailgate that's the issue. It causes drag. Take it off if u drive high speeds. But def go bigger

    I bought a Torklift and had it installed yesterday; bought a trailer like the one in the OP today, and I am happy.
