Need advice on which trailer to buy. Pretty much set on Pequea as the brand, though I'm open to all advice (including that I'm an idiot... ).
I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra Crewmax. Tow rating is 10,400 or so. I'd like to get my b3030, with weighted tires and lots of implements moved down from Mass to Virginia at some point. I'd also like to use the trailer for the usual around town stuff - moving etc. And conceivably I'll one day move my M59 down from MA to VA in multiple trips, which would use every bit of tow capacity. Generally I wouldn't expect to max it - something like b3030 with weighted tires and a woods hoe would be the general, guessing thats near 4k.
Should I get a gooseneck, or a bumper pull? I gather gooseneck would be the way to go if I were pulling max every day, but I'm not going to do that. On the other hand, I know myself - if I have capacity, I'm going to be tempted to use it. So I'll upgrade the axles either way, maybe all the way to 14k.
With the bumper pull I'd expect to upgrade to weight distributing hitch and sway control. Figure that cancels out the extra money I'd pay for a BW roll over ball. Was thinking Tekonsha Prodigy either way.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
