    You got the truck and the trailer parked between the lines.
    Which is better than 90% of the guy a Lowe’s can do.
    Most take up anywhere from 4-6 spots, or more:rolleyes:

    And this was basically my first time pulling a trailer!

    @shakerhood

    Aside from not going above 30 MPH on a particularly steep hill with the gas pedal to the floor while driving to the storage unit with the trailer basically empty, my truck did very well pulling the Ringo and averaged 17 MPG on the way home!

    That's a nice trailer too. Never though I would say this, but it would be nice to have a 16' trailer again.

    I like my 12x6’4” trailer.
    It’s single axle, so my dumbass can pick it up and push it if I need to.
    I went with the high sides, because it acts as a rest to tie things against.

    But like you said a 16’ tandem is much more versatile when you’re loading bigger equipment.

    Trailers are overrated. Follow my ways and don’t haul anything. #mallcrawler

    Yeah, I’d rather loan out my trailer than my truck.
    But, as usual, it’s always something when I go to use it.
    How the hell you bend a valve core stem is beyond me.
    But somehow mine got bent. It doesn’t want to take air easily.

    I literally need to use it tomorrow, and went to check the air in the tires.
    All were sitting at 30(ish) and I like close to 40.
    Finally got the stem straightened out with a pocket knife enough to take air.
    It ain’t leaking, and I’m calling it good.

    My truck pulled it almost effortlessly on the highway and managed to average 17 MPG while doing it!

    Good lord. That's when you just toss chains over it and use binders.

    That's gotta be 36'?

    Thats what I did, 36 foot and I have maxed it out a few times, did million dollar highway or 550 from silverton to ouray with that truck, trailer my land cruiser and a 4runner on it was roughly 20k behind the truck with zero trailer brakes as they took a shit in Texas and those switchbacks are no joke

    That would be scary. I was just in that area earlier this week.

    8k axles on the trailer?
