That's interesting because when I bought a 12k flatbed I was asking about the difference between the 12k and their (Top Notch Trailers) 10k trailer. They said just the 6-hole vs 8-hole hubs and the tires and wheels... the axles, spindles, bearings and springs were the same. For $200, I went with the 12k; but I know it can run around $1,000 if you have to upgrade to heavier axles after you've already got the trailer.

I didn't know that about the speed rating on trailer tires.


I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.
