    DP's trailer is really nice. I was drooling over it at the FE.

    Mine is a 18' x 7' flat bed car hauler. I have the 5 lug 5,000 pound axles under it. You can see how a stock winch truck takes up the entire 18".

    I pull my trucks on a 7000# trailer. It barely gets the job done. If you only tow once in a while a bumper-pull trailer would work well. But get a 8-10k rated trailer. If you plan to pull long distances or quite often, I would go with a gooseneck. That is what I am getting next.

    ALWAYS ALSO REMEMBR WHEN YOU BUY A TRAILER MAKE SURE THE RATING IS AT LEAST 25% HIGHER THAN YOU,LL EVER HAUL. SAME RULE FOR YOUR HITCH. BRAKES ON BOTH AXLES AND REMEMBER TO ADJUST THOSE TRAILER BRAKES THERE NOT SELF ADJUSTING !!!!!!!!!

    Now you tell me. Too bad I bought my trailer about 5 years before I ever heard of a m715.

    Also, get a 20 ft trailer at least. Makes it much easier to tie the m715 down securely.

    Mine is a 12,000lb gross 20' long (18' + 2' dovetail). 2-5/16" ball. XLs on stock axles fit perfectly between the fenders, with maybe a half inch to spare on each side. Brakes on both axles. I bought it new and it cost me $3845, including tax and licensing, out the door.

    I absolutely LOVE that thing.....

    Me and my brother use a 16' 10,000 lb. trailer. The place I work for has a 25' gooseneck, which is nice. Personally, if you plan on using the trailer for hauling, a gooseneck pulls better, and distirbutes the weight better. Just my .02
