Cons first. I received this trailer on a Saturday evening, 6:30pm. The 500+lbs palletized box had been loaded onto an enclosed Estes freight truck using a forklift. No thought was given to the fact that the pallet was 8 feet long by almost 6 feet wide. The truck was only equipped with a 5 foot lift gate! The pallet was broken in pieces , as was the box. I'm over 70 and had to climb up into the truck several times as I and the driver unloaded the trailer pieces by hand. The trailer floor alone weighs about 200 lbs! The scattered pieces seemed okay so I signed off. Upon completion of assembly I discovered the lights didn't work. Testing revealed the wiring had been cut INSIDE the frame tube! 20 miles to town, and $50 worth of loom, wire, connectors, end plugs and tape later, the lights work. The license plate bracket would have positioned the plate only a few inches off the ground (on a tilt-bed trailer, no less) so I had to make a mount above the taillight and then 20 miles back to town for a license plate light, $25 later the plate is where it belongs. The sides, front gate and rear gate all go on easily, but don't line up, or, seal well enough to haul dirt, sand, or gravel. The rear gate won't engage the upper latch at all, meaning I have to wrap rope around the trailer to keep the load from sliding right out the back. Although it's advertised that the tailgate will lay down flat for long loads (lumber) it does not, but instead falls to the ground. If you need to haul long loads you'll have to unbolt the tailgate every time as I do. The six tie-downs advertised are only usable when all the sides and gates are removed. If you need to haul an appliance or furniture -- you're out of luck. The gaps around the front and rear gates are so large, you can stick the fingers of your hand right through. Remember that if you discover the hub grease fittings are broken off, as mine was, they are metric. Go to Napa. I'm trying to load some photos so you can see for yourself. Now the pros (positive things). Although I'm deeply embarrassed to be seen pulling this thing down the road, at least it's black, making it almost invisible in my yard -- almost. At the end of it all: trailer, 1 star. etrailer, 4 stars. Etrailer has normally great products, great prices, free shipping, and outstanding customer service. I'm one heck of a disappointed shopper right now, but I'll still take my business to etrailer. Check out the detail photos.

Decent trailer for the price, easy assembly took me about 4 hours by myself including flipping the trailer over (usually a two person job, it weighs several hundred pounds during assembly. Couple of issues. Suspension can be bouncy, you will need to adjust your tire pressure for the load, down for lighter loads. If you ever tilt the trailer expect to sheer off your license plate. I eventually mounted mine to the rear drop gate.
