    Great video explanation, I’ve experienced the tail-heavy weight distribution and it can be terrifying.

    The trailer didn’t have brakes?

    EDIT:
    Guess it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a controller...

    oh but didnt you know these trucks are towing monsters! At least according to 90% of the dudes who tow at or above the limit on this site. Im glad someone realizes the Taco isnt meant to tow more than a tiny trailer downhill with a tail wind

    My neighbor has this thing for sale it's 3.5x4' been wondering if I should buy it or not. This build gives me inspiration. My only concern is the tub is fiberglass. What are your thoughts if I can get it for a good deal?

    It’s a little small, but looks like a good start. Motorcycle trailer?

    It's a luggage trailer from what appears to be the 80's/90's it might be 4x5 haven't been interested in it enough to check. What issues will I run into with fiberglass as the tub.
