I have some older tires on the trailer which give me some concern. However, My son had purchased four 12 ply tires for the trailer with 3,300 lb rating last year. I forgot they were in the warehouse. Today they go on the trailer which will give me 13,200 lbs total capacity. Plus the comfort of knowing the tires are brand new.
I have a new10,000 lb tow bar with a 2 5/8" ball, so I'm as beefy as one can be on bumper pull. Cathy will follow in the old '99 Dodge minivan which except for the rocker panels runs, looks, and drives as new. Interstate most of the way.
The only issue now is the seller. He is a private seller but, surprised us with a Sales tax bill over $600.00 I'll likely use my company's tax exemption but just the fact that he didn't have it in the original invoicing/deal bothers me. I've done Flea-Bays where the dealer had "documentation" charges that were never specified, and seemed obvious attempts to improve margins or squash the deal.
Any bull sh!t, I walk away.
