Finding the right cargo trailer can seem like a stressful task, but the following buying tips can help!

The Price

Cargo trailers come at a wide range of price points. Think about how much money you want to spend. By eliminating models that are beyond that price, you'll be able to pare down your search.

Tow Vehicle Limitations

Tow vehicles can only carry so much weight. Be sure to look up the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) for your tow vehicle, which includes the weight of passengers and cargo as well as the trailer.

Make sure you don't get too heavy of a trailer. You'll be limited in the amount of cargo you can pack up and may be stuck making multiple trips to get everything transported!

The Features

Spend some time researching cargo trailer features so that you know what's available. Features will increase the price point of the cargo trailer, but they can also make your hauling work much easier or more efficient!

Common cargo trailer features include:

  • Exterior LED lights to make unloading/loading at night easier.
  • A side door for easy access to items inside.
  • A rear ramp for easy loading of vehicles.
