All steel construction - compact pickup truck body on heavy duty axle & frame.

Lots of lockable storage for equipment. Keep it out of the rain too.

Cool thing about this trailer is the size - it isn't your typical huge contract/utility body. It is a Reading Brand Topper & Body. Professionally built with new tires/rims 225/75/15 tires. Tows great - has just enough tongue weight for it to follow perfectly while empty and tows like a dream when full. I can lift the tongue by hand and it is easy to move around.

Great as an overland/offroad platform. Bought this and decided to go a different path.

I think the axle is rated for 6,500 or 7,000#. Heavy Duty Spring Pack, 5 leaf.

Has a massive 4' black utility box on the front - great for mounting a generator, a welder, or anything else. Lockable. Store all your tools in the various compartments, carry wood & ladders on the racks. Lockable...space in the bed area for bulky items.

Comes with trailer brakes. Lights work. New bearings, recently repacked. Tires are in mint condition. Some surface rust on body that could use some touch up, but it is minor. Appears utiltiy/contractor body was removed from a S10 or Ford Ranger sized truck - a massively overkill trailer frame was built underneath it. Room for ~33" maybe bigger tires.

I was going to build this into an overland 4x4 trailer, but plans changed.

It has no marks from being used since it was painted - just some surface rust in a few spots on sides and underbody. Appears like it was never used since it was converted to a trailer.

Body/Box is 5x6.5' - or 62"wide x 80" long x 42" Tall. Tongue is ~6' Total length is about 160". Total height is 68"
This trailer needs nothing as is, all lights work, it has a 2" ball and 7 pin electrical connector.
