So I am on the fence about what size utility trailer to get with the majority of the work load will be hauling firewood rounds back to my house. I have done pretty well finding local firewood getting it home in my small truck and borrowed 4/8 trailer seems to be the limiting factor.
So I have a 2008 Crew Cab Toyota Tacoma with the tow package so it is rated to pull 6500lbs
Both utility trailers I am looking at are rated to 2995 lbs and have 15" tires with the drop gate in the back
The first trailer is a 5x10 with 18" mesh sides for $1099 sticker price
The second trailer is a 6x10 with 24" mes sides for $1199 sticker price.
Initially I was leaning towards the 6x10 but the 24" sides have me a little concerned they seem like it could get tedious to unload if I had to do it completely from the rear of the trailer plus that width the wheel wells would be wider then my vehicle thought that isnt much of an issue. My wifes concern is that with the larger trailer I would be more inclined to overload the trailer.
Im not sure which way to go on this does anyone have any insights on this. I just dont want to get a trailer that is too big or two small and regret it later.
