Mike Gerald, and you won't like backing up a 5x8 trailer. I've got a 4x8, and it's not easy

I have a 5x8, bounces like a superball, i mostly use my 6x12 its a nice trailer you will be surprised how good it pulls and not hard to back up at all. Mike Geralds is where i would go, nice people there.

5X8 is easy to handle and store around the house, but is way too small to pull well...you can literally see them bouncing all around when you are going down the road, beating your bikes all to hell.

I pulled an empty unloaded 5x8 trailer to houston yesterday with a midsize suv.

Loaded with 1500lbs of heavy engine parts, backed it up an incline loading dock, loaded another 1k into it, and then pulled it home at 70. Wth are you people doing that a 5x8 trailer is treating you so poorly?

The onky inherent problem when towing with a less than fullsize truck is the large gate. It acts as a sail. A short 1ft gate improves fuel mileage considerably.

If y'all can't back up a 5x8, I wanna watch y'all back up my bbq pit
