So I am looking for a bigger trailer to haul my quad around on....I had a 4x8 but once I put my bigger tires on my Sportsman it would no longer fit on the trailer.....so now im looking to purchase a 5x8.....
here's my question.....I am using this to pull my quad which weighs roughly 900lbs.....i'll travel with it from anywhere to 15 minutes away up too 5 hours "ice fishing trips"......do you think a 2,000gvw rating will be plenty and road worthy for that time or should I go with the 3500gvw with the bigger tires??? I can buy them new at $649 2k gvw or $949 3500gvw. OR if anyone has or knows where a nice one used is for cheaper I am not scared to go that route.....anything from a 5x8-10. Thanks guys any input will be appreciated I want to make the right purchase!
