Is this 2k worth of trailer?

[Country Dirt Kid]

I'm thinking about buying this trailer for 1,979 out the door with tax, title, registration, and DOC fee included. My current trailer is a 1976 clunker so I looks like trailers really last. It has a one year warranty from the manufacturer.

What do you guys think? Thanks

Standard warranty terms for the industry.

Don't know your market.
Paid $5K for a loaded, 23 ft., #6K, aluminum tandem in 2024

In other words, the warranty means little to nothing, so look at the quality is the build and assembly. What weight is the trailer rated for and how much weight will you actually be hauling ? What size wheels and tires and the load rating ? Is the trailer galvanized or just painted silver ?

How thick is the metal? Remember all the trailers that rusted out in a few years. They were paper thin.

thanks all I read that the metal is 14 gauge.

Probably not bad. I paid $1500 - $1600 through a local G3 dealer for a new trailer to haul my 17.5’ G3 10-12 years ago. The other local G3 dealer wanted $2500 for the same trailer. No title or registration on small trailers here.
