2015年6月9日 · The Carryon 5x8MG Tractor Supply Special model went on sale this weekend for 599. We scooped up the last one at our local store. Carryon sells this model to Tractor Supply because it has 13 inch wheels. Lowe's has the exact model on sale for 649 but it is the regular 5X8MG with 12 inch wheels.

2016年4月11日 · We are looking into the 5x8 mesh floor from Tractor Supply. After much reading, it is better than the same model offered at Lowes due to the larger 13 inch wheels instead of 12. I will be putting down a 1/2 to 3/4 inch treated plywood floor over the mesh and will be replacing the lights and wiring with something better.

2013年2月16日 · Tow all the time with my 5x8 trailer. I did get a heavy duty trailer that can haul 3500 lbs. Have had way more than that in it when moving the storage to the house, Tacoma handled it fine. Yeah, went slow, stopped slow, kept my distance. No probs.

2019年8月5日 · Recently been redoing some things on my tractor supply 5x8 trailer, fixing the things I don’t like. This trailer is only used to haul my four wheeler and lawn mower no off-roading or anything. Been looking into upgrading the brake lights to something more heavy duty.

2016年1月28日 · 192T would be my recommendation. I think the 2nd option is too much weight once you factor gear, water, people, etc. Especially if planning to tow up any grades. I think keeping total weight of trailer down under 5000lbs would be critical. In fact regularly towing anything over 4500 would probably not be great for this vehicle's capabilities.

2015年7月16日 · - Ends on the safety chains were too small for my hitch, had to connect with cheap 1T links from Tractor Supply - Added a steel cable w/padlock to lock the trailer to the truck hitch IOT dissuade theft while overnighting at the hotel - IIRC it was a 5 day rental; very glad I picked up a day early, allowed time to PMCS and load.

2012年9月17日 · My father-in-law has a F150 and gets about 7mpg when towing. I have a lighter travel trailer than his, and I get about 8.5 - 9.5 when towing. Same trailer got me around 11 - 12 on my Tacoma (v6 engine). So eh, the Tacoma absolutely got better MPG, but the bigger truck makes a 5000 lb trailer an easy tow.

2010年6月9日 · Every trailer I've seen in this size (new and used) doesn't have brakes. Most of these trailers weigh 800 to 1000lbs and have a GVWR of 2990 lbs. The owners manual says to use trailer brakes on anything over 1000lbs, but most people online say that it's okay not to use trailer brakes up to about 3000lbs.

2018年9月25日 · A half dozen times, the trailer being off kilt or sliding down a rock, put it (the awning) as the most likely part of the trailer to hang up on a tree. We aimed to do some gold panning, fly fishing and old mine exploring so once we neared St Elmo, we turn south to begin our 3,200 ft ascent up the north side of Pomeroy Mountain.

2024年7月15日 · I’ve never really had to concern myself with towing such a small trailer. I’m headed out to Colorado to hunt some elk in a few days. 750 mile distance across Kansas to our spot in Colorado. I’m towing a 400lb 5x8 utility trailer with a drop gate, it’ll be loaded with approximately 500lbs of gear.
