240 bucks for a 4x8 decent little trailer that most crossover SUV's these days could pull, Requires assembly, but with another 60 in lumber and it'd be hard to find a heavily used one on craigslist for that cheap. Comes with title, just purchased one at my local HF.

1) What is the cheapest (while also being safe and reliable) way to get a hitch for a truck? I've got a '99 Ford F150.
2) Can I haul stuff in a trailer with a V6 truck? It's 2wd, which I know is usually preferable for towing, but I know the V6 isn't really. I'd be looking at hauling an occasional motorcycle, pellet stove, that kind of thing. Maybe some furniture.....
Most likely there is a bolt on kit. You'll still have to wire up the pigtail for lights though
If you plan on folding the trailer and storing it upright, I would recommend replacing the casters with something heavier duty. I used Shepherd C0020605ZN-HDR01(GG) casters (http://www.amazon.com/Shepherd-Se...B009PFBO56). I had to enlarge the holes, but that is easy with a hand drill.
fair warning
I got this trailer on sale for 269 plus a 25% coupon found in a few magazines (e.g. backpacker, Popular science).
Make sure you repack the bearings with good grease! I made my own sides. Very easy to do if you have the right tools. Redtrailers.com sells side kits for this trailer.
Best to all.

You can order extra bearings from harbor freights csr. I actually have the email saved. Buy extra seals cuz I broke the metal spring on the seal removing mine.

In MA I pay more to keep this simple trailer registered than an old car. I get hit with $40 registration yearly (cars are every two years).
does this take away the "folding" function?
can someone show picts of it when folded?

Countersink: basically drilling the hole out so the screw is flush and not sticking out to catch on anything you drag across the surface. 1: drill hole for bolt to go through, 2: drill hole directly into previous hole but only the depth of bolt head. if it's a machine bolt, drill bit should be no smaller than the diameter of the bolt. If it's a wood screw, same works, or I do it slightly smaller than the screw. It makes the screw hold in place better. I'm assuming machine screws in this case.
Caster: small cheap wheel, like the ones under your fridge.
A receiver/hitch is what's bolted or welded to your car's frame or truck to pull your trailer. It works with your drop hitch so your trailer can be towed at a level height. If you have a truck with 35" tires, you can't bumper-pull this, the back end will drag. You would need a drop-hitch. (On level ground, hold your trailer level (use a level, torpedo or otherwise; measure from the ground to the tongue. That's your optimum tow height. If your bumper is too high over this, you probably shouldn't pull with the bumper. This uses a 1 7/8" ball.
If you didn't understand half of that, you probably shouldn't be messing with this project.
Thanks for the informative read! I was going to rep you but for some reason it doesnt show underneath your name area.
Yes, it can fit in any vehicles.
