ONCE AGAIN THE FAMOUS 3,000 POUNDS LIMIT KEEPS COMMING UP.

What is the difference of a TRAILER that is 2,999?

THEY DO ALLOW YOU TO BUILD ONE ON YOUR OWN... BUT ONCE AGAIN NO SPECIFICATIONS ON QUALITY OF THE TRAILER.

I've been thinking about getting a utility trailer for a while now. My husband frequently needs to haul large amounts of things, and I think this would really help him out. It looks like it would be a great investment, and then he wouldn't have to borrow from his friends and the neighbors. http://www.blueridgetrailer.com/utility-trailers/
