re: Best price/quality 5x8 utility trailer?

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![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

I can't see my 4x8 at all when backing up unless it is getting all caddywhompus. With really small trailers (log splitter), I usually try a few times and then say frick it and just push the damn things
