I've never seen one in these parts but I sure like the looks of it.

Depends on the use. 2 large ATV's plus an elk will put it at the maximum on the 2000 lb axle. There's no room left for a Yeti full of groceries. For my use, I would prefer a heavier axle/rims/etc than 2000lb. Bumping over a rough road while near max weight isn't good.

Our machines are mid sized not overly heavy. We have the back of the pickup for extras

For just hauling ATVs and gas cans, I think it will work fine,(I hope) going to pick one up this afternoon

Those look like the ones they sell at TSC around here, they are nice enough, but if you want it to last, buy some cheap black paint and turn the trailer up side down and pour the paint in to the tube frame to coat the inside, they rust from the inside out and this will prevent that from happening.

Hey man, long time no hear!

I owned one of their 4-place trailers and never had a problem with it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Havent seen you on here for a while. Whats up?

I lucked out and found a slightly used one on Craigslist at a great price

I'll think it will work great for our needs

Bought a used one about a month ago. It is fine for my intended uses but is difficult to see in the mirror while towing empty.

Long story! All is well, though plenty has changed!

Congrats on the trailer. I liked my 4-place a lot. I've owned a couple of Silver Fox trailers too, but those are way more pricey.

Very true, though most ATV type trailers are when not loaded.

This is the one we ended up with. It is 10" wider than the standard model and has a 3500 lbs axle

That will serve you well. Throw a spare on there and you'll be good to go!
