It would still be used for 914s (watercooled conversion) but the buyer is concerned of it weighing too much for thier V6 powered tow vehicle (older Mistubishi SUV I think)

total package will be under 4k

Trailer similar in length...less the tire rack weigh in at 750..

So, its under 3k..and I can tow it with my Eurovan...

He will be fine.

thanks....I cut off the tire rack, just deciding whether to keep it off or make it a bolt on/off item....damn thing has already dented 3 914 fenders (3 different cars)

this should help. Its Lic. total wt. 4000 lbs Thats Dads truck same as a S10 with the V6

forgot the photo

take it to the local recycling center. they should have a scale to weigh an entire vehicle before and after unloading your recyclables.

My guess is your trailer weighs about 1,380 pounds.

Let's make a contest out of this. Take it to a big truck stop. They usually have a scale for their vehicles. You pay them about $6.00 and you get 2 or 3 attempts to weigh it. Thats how I used to weigh my race car.

I'm thinking around 1200 lbs.

But like he said, find out for sure.....

IIRC mine is closer to 2000lbs; Carson 16' steel frame and bed

Worth noting that Mike's trailer is an open bed, not a full bed. I'd guess around the 2k range.

I towed this one with the Alien behind a Nissan Xterra. V6 was a lacking... The Titan on the other hand...

I finally got around to registering the trailer I got in Cali. last month. I was right - the DMV was not busy on the Friday before Christmas. Half an hour - start to finish.

The new improved version has extra lights, 1 1/2" raised deck height - (so I can open the door now), a new end stop, reinforded tie down points, relocated / upgraded tool box, safety chains, flag pole, and most important - new tires and period correct Bling-Bling wheels from a '75 Continental Mark IV.

At the DMV today, both inspectors and their supervisor were very interested in the unusually low VIN # that I had covered up with the new tool box. They never even bothered to check the lights or any of the other safety requirements.

I did find out that my trailer weighs exactly 985 lbs.

Bling Bling Wheels

Now I have to decide if I want to get vanity plates, and what they should say.
Watch for the poll.
