Lowe’s trailers look kinda flimsy to me,Tractor Supply trailers look a little heavier duty.

avoid lowes or home depot like the plague

tractor supply trailers are much better built and stronger with bigger axles under them

I had one custom built to my specs for not much more than you'd pay for one these mass produced trailers...

I used Bayou Trailers in Bay Saint Louis, MS

Bought my 6.5x12 from Herb’s a couple years ago. Very well built trailer.

I just shopped them myself but did not make a purchase because the store did not have the title!!

THD has the best deal and the best trailer IMHO. I looked at Lowes and TSC and THD. THD was rated for a bigger load.

THD is has pipe steel sides that can be turned down allowing for a wider load and they have good wheels and tires with easy to grease bearings.

I tried to buy one at the Covington store and NONE of the titles they had matched the serial numbers of their inventory.

There were like $1400. This is the one I was going to buy. LINK

Let me know what you think. I am still in the market.

^what a ripoff^


I got a true(floor of trailer) 7'x 14' with back ramp gate, tube top and a 4' side gate rated for 7500# w/ e rated radial tires , for $1800 at Bayou Trailers

this was 2yrs ago, so price of steel and materials may vary since then.

Lowe’s


I have had a Lowe's 5'x 8' for about 10 years with no complaints.

When I bought it I told the check out chick you're supposed to give me a title for the trailer. She sent me to the customer service desk where manager chick had no idea what a trailer title was. After explaining it to her she looked around for a good while and found a folder with all the trailer titles. She picked a random title out the folder and said here's your title. I had to further explain that the title serial # had to match the trailer serial #

may be an unpopular choice but I have had no problem with my big Tex. Needs more and better placed tie downs though

We have a couple truck and trailer world trailers that have had no problems with. One when sat under water for a couple days in the 2016 flood. Had to change boards but still good to go.

A little off topic, but yesterday I saw someone picking up something at Lowe’s with a Home Depot rental trailer

Just my two cents, but a dual axle trailer rides your cargo so much smoother. Looks like you have to get into a 14' to get a second axle.
