im down to these choices and need some help, i sold my 20+5 and need a trailer decision quick

PJ 27+5, Dual Tandem 7200lbs empty in stock..$8600

Gatormade 25+5, tandem single 16k, 5900lbs..3-4 weeks...$7495

All Pro Trailer, 25+5, tandem single, 14k, 5500lbs...3-4 weeks...$5690

Brute Hydraulic Dove tail 20+11, he says it weighs in around 6500lbs..$11,500

Kaufman 26+4, 18k axles, 6000lbs..3-4 weeks...$5690


my main concern is empty weight being too much for my 3/4ton..any thoughts

 

What are you putting on the trailer?

 

All depends on what ya going to put on it and do with it !

 

wouldnt have to know the empty weight on a 31+5 tandom daul big tex? just always wanted to know...

 

I have the PJ 27+5 and love it. No torsion tube on mine and not sure if they have started putting them on or not. Started pulling with the '99 2500 but tranny didn't like the weight I had on it. The load was another 14K. Now use the 07.5 3500 DRW. No issues with the 07.5 pulling and have had a total gross weight of 36K on rare occassions.

 

not much over 12k, mainly cars or 2...i see most people have dual tandems though

 

check you state, but my state has different class of registration, at 18k in MN it goes way up compared to the 15 K class. Just something to think about

 

in nj i register my truck for 25,999lbs commerical and always register my trailers for 0lbs just always have done it that way as along as i dont go over the 26k i wont need cdl or want to get one

 

Good luck with that.

 

why do you say that? company i used to work for does that with all there tractors and trailers

 

IT may work for regiatration purpose but not for dodging needing a CDL.

CDL requirements are based of off GVWR.

 

Tandem singles pull easier. You pay for quality. Brute trailers are better from what I have seen. I would go tandem single 16 0r 20k. The Brute would be my choice if you plan on having it a long time.

 

i ended up ordering a Brute Hydraulic 20+11 Dovetail, dual tandem 10k axles...gonna take 8 weeks but from what ive read its worth the wait

 

My concern would be how far back your axles will be.. Mainly what kinda pin weight you will have when you stick two cars on there...

 

What sort of cars are going on it? The power dovetail would be a must if they are expensive/low to the ground.
