Buying an Open Utility Trailer

If you’re interested in a hauling solution that is easy to use and practical for a number of different types of cargo, an open utility trailer might be your best bet. These roomy trailers offer many advantages, so it’s worthwhile to consider them when you’re looking to buy a trailer. Here’s what you’ll want to think about when shopping for the ideal open utility trailer.

Your Needs

First, think about what it is you need in an open utility trailer. The type of cargo you’re hauling will be a deciding factor in your purchasing decision. The nice thing about an open utility trailer is that it allows for the towing of bulky and odd-shaped items such as power equipment or furniture. You’ll just need to be sure that you’re able to adequately secure all the items you’re hauling.

Towing Vehicle Capabilities

Next, you should consider what the capabilities of your towing vehicle are. All vehicles have a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) that should never be exceeded; this rating takes into account all cargo in the vehicle as well as whatever it’s towing behind it. Use this number when shopping for an open utility trailer to make sure you’re not going to overburden your towing vehicle.
