Anyone with a car trailer near Edmonton?

Anyone from Edmonton area got a car hauler I can borrow / rent for a day. I have to go check something out in Crossfield on Friday.

Don't ask! However, I have a feeling I should take something more heavily rated than my utility trailer and capable of bringing it back.

If anyone is looking.........I will likely have a 7.5x10' utility trailer with a 3500 lb axle (2" ball coupler and deck over the wheels) for sale as I will likely have to upgrade.

What are you getting in Crossfield? I have an 89 ranger sitting there, feel free to take it away.

I spoke to the guys that built my quad trailer. They're renting me one for $69 for a day. I have a STRONG feeling I should take a more robust trailer with me.......even if I decide not to make the purchase.

They are only good to about 4000LBS as is mine---loaded her down many times in the past 3 years hauling loads of gravel and supplies up to our place at the lake,1--1 1/4 yard is most it will hold or you end up chewing the tire to shreds from bottoming out on the cross members.I just replace a tire tonight after hauling 20 trips of supplies over the summer,put a new tire on and kept the damaged one for a spare.Me and the Mrs are making a big trip north tomorrow with to 2 quads/trailer to visit the folks in Cleardale Alta,don't want to risk a blowout.If they are rated for 3500lbs that about all you can haul + a bit.DW---PS good you manage to secure another option.

Took this away instead (took pic right after loading):



I guess I won't need a Kawi Teryx anymore - this thing goes anywhere. I really need to get rid of my utility trailer now............and get a bigger one.

That is cool, you will have to bring that up to the fort, and we can go trail riding with it

I'll need days off first..............starting Tuesday, we're in turnaround at the plant until about mid October. I'm prepared to work everyday, if they'll let me, to pay for it plus some goodies I bought for my bow(crap - once installed, I have to re tune it).

Btw folks, I guess I have to get rid of my quad trailer (7.5x10') for sure now, and locate something that's 16' long minimum.

Keep your eyes out please.
