Henry - any idea of what it may weigh? I have been looking for an aluminum trailer since I need to manuever it in a tight spot for storage, but will purchase yours if you think I could put the wheels on dollies and hand move the trailer sideways. thanks,
Jay

No kidding. I think his finger slipped on that first "1". Wish I had the room.

If it was Aluminum, I would also take it. But I think it is mostly steel. Still a nice trailer.

Its steel and very heavy. I'd guess 2200lbs or more.

Its very similar to my old open trailer that Kyle Williams has now. That model is a very nice open trailer and well built. But they aren't light. We had a lot of trouble trying to turn it 90 degrees at the El Toro Pro one year with about 5 guys.

Thanks for the clarification guys. My F150 can't handle that.

Sorry to clutter up your thread Henry.

It towed pretty well behind my 2000 Dakota Club Cab with the 4.7L.

How much does the Beemer weigh? I bet the F-150 would tow it on this trailer with no problem.

The trailer is priced to sell quickly, it's in the way. As far as the weight, yes it's steel, but with the corvette on it I hardly knew it was there. Most any truck will have no problem towing it.

Not sure which F150 you have, but mine is an '01 with a 4.6 SOHC and it tows Tom's BMW with power to spare. This trailer probably weighs a little more than Toms, but I doubt it's much more. My $.02. Nice buy, either way.
