So I am about to order my trailer for hauling the Jeep and wanted to reach out to see what everyone has added to their trailers that I may want to add to mine.
My plan is to pull the trailer and Jeep with my F-150 3.5 ecoboost which I’ve already done and it handles great on a trailer identical to the one I plan to order. Eventually I will upgrade to a F-350 single wheel 7.3 gasser but that’s not in the near future. A buddies dad has the same trailer I am wanting to buy and I’ve borrowed it many times to haul the Jeep as seen here, haven’t used a Weight Distribution Hitch yet but not opposed to getting one.
Trailer is a Kearney which is a pretty big manufacture here in texas
18ft (16 flat 2 ft dove)
5200 pound axles brakes on both axles
Jacks on both sides of rear
Storage box on tongue holding all parts to completely rebuild the axle and brakes on the road with extra lights
Spare Tires mounted on both sides of trailer (2 spares)
D rings up and down both sides for tons of tie down options
Possibly job box on deck to hold other gear if needed
EZ track across front to tie down fire wood generators and other smaller items
Receiver hitch mounted to front rail for future winch needs or to hold a bike rack
Something I’m looking into is recommendations for a non slip coating to put on the wood as the trailer will act as a deck when at camp, wet wood is a slip n slide. My concern with regular deck coating is how it will hold up to the tires rubbing while going down the highway. This can be eliminated by a plate or something mounted to deck where each tire falls.
Also looking into doing something like this in the future, if you’ve got something similar post it up!
Thanks in advance!
