What size cargo trailer?

Post by nxski »

I'm looking at buying a cargo trailer for work. Any ideas if an 8-10 foot trailer would be alright to tow behind my van (L300)? This would be for city use only so no highway driving with a full trailer.

:-D I'll look into that more! Maybe the dual piston upgrade as well.

If you're going to be hauling loads in something that size, I would definitely look for a trailer with brakes and install a brake assist into your van. I wouldn't try climbing the Coq' with it, but you should be fine around town.

What is a brake assist? (sorry if that's a stupid question)

That makes sense, I don't see how you could have a trailer with brakes and not have brake assist then. (unless they just lock up every time you press the pedal) :shock:

Here are the statistic. I'm thinking of going for the 6x12 or 6x14. Thoughts?
