How big of an enclosed trailer do you think would be okay for the 4 Cyl? 4x6, 5x7?

They're both about 1,000 dry weight. Have 2,500lbs of leeway.

 

You get use to it. Ive done it for 2 years

Those military trailers usally go pretty cheap and are strong.

There is a few cool over land trailer builds of them on here too.

I want just the bed part of it to use as bed on the frame

 

Those military trailers I was considering, they're braked and cheap as shit ($800!)

But they are HEAVY! Curb Weight is like 2200 pounds! DRY!

 

There is light weight ones
Look up m101 trailers

 

4x6... 5x7 may be pushing it. The shorter the better, especially with you having increased wind resistance already from your lift and soon to be armor.

 

That's not bad, my trailer is 2500dry, but it is enclosed, dual axle, and slammed haha

 

1,300 Pounds. Not bad.

Maybe. It's already electronically braked.

 

A slammed trailer. Now that's something. Haha.

How does your truck handle with it? You have a huge trailer.

 

yeah that one I posted, he's selling it for 250 I think


but it actually looks like this :



lol

 

3/4 ton capacity

The m105 is the one thats 2200 dry but 1 1/2 ton capacity

 

If that had metal sides like a m101 i would get it

 

I would need 3,000 horns from 750 Cadillacs to push it to its weight limit

 

Shit. I might just throw a hitch on the E320. The European towing spec is 5,500 pounds braked.

 

The m416 trailer is pretty nice too
670lb empty
1/4 ton capacity

 

I dunno, I'm never gonna hitch it to the taco and find out. It's pushing it height wise with wind resistance, I know I could stop (awesome electric brakes) but I'd be pushing it hard with 33s trying to pull it around with anything in it. It wouldn't hurt my truck, but it would be inefficient, it would hurt your truck though, without a trans cooler it would eat the trans up and spit it out on fire. You need something small and largely out of the path of wind. There's a reason I only pull with the cruiser when I use that trailer, and the biggest reason is huge oversized auto trans (it's from a Hino bus) and a trans cooler half the size of my radiator.

 

The 5-Lug would make a nice tow rig.

 

Duh.
Throw that fifth wheel back on
