That's an awful lot of trailer for that ole bucket homie!

Of all the things i have had behind my truck, this was the most miserable thing. No engine, 40 x 16.5 in wide tires. It bounced and swayed the entire 5 hr ride home. i could not go more than 40 mph.

14k on a trailer rated at 10,400#, WTG. DOT would love you.

I was going to say, those six lug axles are 5k a piece at best. But if I had to bet, I don't think that mini ex. weight's anywhere near even 10k.

I have moved a few of these before (on a dual tandum). That is a "large" mini so I would bet it is close to 12-14k. Agree the trailer would be lucky to have a GCWR of 10k.

i like the tinted windows on the mini ex

I dropped this little fella off this fall, guys at the counter said it weighed 7-8k, looks like its a little smaller then the one behind the 6.7

How tight can you turn before the deck on the neck is about to kiss the cab or is it not an issue at all?

I use it for equipment, uncle calls me if I had a trailer with a winch (explorer is not running) this the only one with one. Lol or are you talking about the amount of straps? Used six because I had them lol.

With a long bed I've had it at s full 90 degree turn,with no issue. With a shortbed, it might be an issue.

It's actually a 12k trailer. I only had to haul it a few miles down the road so it wasn't a big issue. We have an 18k trail king that was getting new tires so we used this one for the day

That looks like pretty tough ground. How well does that mini do with it?

Hauled this today. 4 pallets of rock salt. 9800lbs in Salt. Truck handled it fine. But that trailer sways anything over about 55-60 especially after crossing the bumps that bridges have. To me it's loaded pretty evenly except the axles are far forward because it tilts. Hauling my samurais on it it does the same thing.
