    Been wanting a enclosed trailer for awhile now to keep my mowers out of the rain. Was blessed enough to be able to get one today. 6x12 with a ramp, empty weight 1300 pounds. 4 cylinder pulled it lovely. Let’s see yours and what you put in them.

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    Let us know how it behaves in a strong cross wind.
    I get the utility of it, and can appreciate that, but I'd bet it'll be a bit squirrelly on a really windy day.

    It’s possible. I did 65 down the interstate bringing it home. Was totally fine

    Good to see someone hauling on a 4 cyl! I have the 3.5 V6 and I’m planning on hauling a 14’ enclosed with tandem axles and was worried about it’s towing abilities with any real weight.

    Speaking of which, if anyone has recommendations for aftermarket break controllers, I’m all ears

    hopefully you dont have trouble pulling it when its full. My buddy had a V6 3rd gen, 2019 Limited, when he filled his 6X12 with 2 dirt bikes, a Z400 quad and all their camping gear and had the truck full also with 3 people (none of them are very big in size, one being a kid) and also had his bed filled with camping gear, he said the truck was almost a laugh pulling it. He thought it was the bad aerodynamics of the trailer. He ended up selling the truck due to vibes, but he knew the truck wouldnt pull the trailer to his liking. He bought a dodge diesel to pull it.

    Sounds like he really pushed the max payload. No kids here, just a 115lbs girlfriend, so hoping I’ll be able to haul some toys no problem

    I feel ya. This was my prior 'Taco before it eventually was crushed by a pine tree. It was a 4 banger stick, but she would work with no protests.

    The below picture was after the first one's I posted above. I came home one night and found this tree had fallen across my truck. It was rotted and the root ball simply gave up it's grip on the soil. I eventually got the truck repaired but then traded it in for a Ford. Wish I kept this 'Taco because there was nothing wrong with it after the repairs.

    No more pine tree's live next to me. I cut all of those 'effer's down myself.

    Congratulations! I’ve been wanting an enclosed trailer for years. Still holding on to my 5x8 utility trailer for now.

    to some of the replys above about my buddys 19 and his 6X12 trailer. He thought he had around 4K of trailer weight. It had a flat front like the OP's.
    Then he had 2 adults (around 325lbs I'd guess for him and his GF, and 100 for his son) but then a bed load of weight, camping gear. There is a pic of a trailer above where the poster says his tows fine, but his trailer has a more aerodynamic front, not like the OP's and my buddys flat front. My buddy and I really thought the towing problem was mostly aerodynamic, not as much weight related. Oh, one more thing, it towed pretty good on flats, but his real problem was big hills. And there are a lot of them on our way to our dirt bike riding areas.

    I've got a couple of trailers that I pull with my Tacoma, neither give me any problems. One is a small deck over for my quad, the other is a 5x10 box that I haul my bike in, use as a utility hauler, and as a sort of camper.
