    Yes, they come with a certicicate of origin which you take to DVM and have title issued, you also have to pay sales tax there cause HF does not collect it

    I didn't even think of that. Good to know.

    There's a coupon in the current HF sale magazine. The lighter one is on sale for 269.00 reg 349.00. You have to order them in the store.

    I'm going to hit up Basspro and Cabelas today. Lowes shows some on their website too. I just can get one that's too heavy. 1000 pounds is the max towing weight. I should have kept my truck.

    Thanks for the tips.

    Truck and Trailer World in Denham and Mike Gerald's Trailer World on Florida have better trailers than HD or Lowes at lower prices.

    Mike Gerald's didn't have one small enough. Plus they didn't know what they weighed which I thought was weird. I'm going to go by Truck and Trailer world. Lowes has angle steel welded trailers for around $500. That will probably work.

    Thanks everyone.

    Right off the bat, get sizes and buy better bearings/bearing buddies, if you get that Hf trailer. The first time you take it over 55mph with the original bearings, you’ll see why I mention this if you don’t. The original bearings are garbage.

    I forgot about that, and they were packed with vaseline for grease

    I've pretty much decided to go with the heavier duty welded trailer. I'll probably end up using it a lot more than I think I will and I'd hate worrying about the cheaper trailer every time I used it. I'll just have to wait on the lift kit and mud tires for the ole Camry. Maybe when uncle Donny sends me some stimulus money....
