I bought this trailer for a similar price. Pretty happy with it. When I got it one of the welds in a part that is used to stand it up in the folded position was broken, they sent me the replacement part but it took a little over a month. It wasn't broken to the point where I couldn't stand it up bit I thought it'd be good to replace it anyway. It's a good trailer. Lighting kit also easy to install, folds up to about 2.5ft X 5 ft footprint.

Check your state licensing requirements before buying one of these trailers! Often it is VERY expensive to license one of these trailers.

In my state, it requires an enhanced inspection @$400 plus about $250 in licensing and registration fees.

It's less expensive to buy a preassembled trailer sold by a dealer.

I had not thought about that. Thanks for the heads-up!

every trailer I've owned for my motorcycles were registered in Maine, no issues-whatsoever and perfectly legal-even if ur not a resident! Since all my trailers were under a certain weight-it was still covered by my auto insurance.

Next time-when you are on the turnpike, look at the plates of most tractor trailers and I'd say 90% of them are registered in Maine.

I have this exact trailer and love it . I use it to haul stuff all the time . I wanna add that it takes some to time to assemble though.

I'm not sure how many states this is true for. MI for example is $75 for the tag (lifetime plate), no inspection required because the gross weight is on the certificate they give you when you buy the trailer, etc.

As far as how this trailer is - it's super light so bounces all over the road, but that's really my main complaint. We'll see how long it holds up but I've used it to pick up building supplies from Lowe's/HD, firewood, etc and it's done the job well.

Actually CA is pretty cheap too, it was like $25 for 5 years and all I had to show was the included title and receipt, no inspection needed

This is a decent price now that the 20-25% coupon doesn't work on trailers, the only time it might get slightly cheaper is during their periodic 3-day sales

Thanks OP.

Was this a single use coupon?

I get this:
Quote :
Coupon 12415733 expired and cannot be used. Please use a different coupon.

Never mind. I see it was for 5/1 only... too late

I used the same site when I picked up this trailer a few years back. Pennsylvania was going to charge me several hundred just for inspection and reg for a year or two. Maine did it for ~$60 for 5 years.
Of course, it is due to these lax regulations that I make it a point to not ride behind trailers that have a Maine plate. Wink

Does anyone recommend getting the 1720lb capacity trailer over this one? I'm in the market for one but not sure if I should opt for the larger capacity.

I strap a cooler full of water to mine when traveling while empty. It keeps it from bouncing a little and then you can dump the water when you add your load.
