$800 ( 6’4"x12’) it’s two feet longer than what I have now. I am thinking of upgrading to a two axle but I am concerned about a 2 axle 14 foot because I have to get into a lot of tight places with these lake houses. I am not a fan of the tailgate at all.
Your thoughts?
If you get it make sure to put another axle in the thing 14ft is a big boy but I also dont know how much gear you carry day to day.
great price though!
This is a 12 foot. I can get a 14’ for $1400 but I think that’s too big for my needs.
Sorry I misread the post. If its a 12 footer id grab it. Will an extra two feet keep you from turning around in your area at certain locations? Extra space is always welcomed but being able to navigate is more important thats the decision maker right there.
I’d probably pass myself. If it doesn’t have two axles already on it you gotta price in brakes, two more tires, leafs, and the 2nd axle.
At $1400 you’re probably paying darn close to what you’d pay if you did it yourself. I’m all done with single axle trailers after this one.
But your needs may be totally different.
$1200 to do it yourself. Not including time.
Scratch that. Two more tires are going to run $70/each
What about the maneuverability of a 2 axle? I have to sometimes get into some tight places and back down long driveways.
I’ve always heard that dual axle trailer move better. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d rather have to slow down or back up a couple more times than get caught in a pinch where I need to haul more weight that my trailer is equipped for.
@Racer what’s your take on maneuverability from your single to your double?
Dual axles back just fine
I like it better. Longer tongue, easier to back up, not so squirrelly.
I just bought a 6x14 tandem 5200# axles trailer with brakes for $1800. My friend in Ga sells them and can get whatever you want. Not sure where you’re located though. I would pass on a 14’ single axle.
Duel axles for sure I got a 300 gallon tank don’t pull it full but half sometimes…
my duel was $1,200
If it is an 3500lb axle, the bearings are good and the tailgate is removable, jump on it. It would be 1400 to 1500 new
What size is your buffer tank?
I just picked up a 6’10" x 14’, dual axle and breaks on one axle for $1700 ($1885 with tax).
Keep looking for a nice tandem axle trailer. Preferably one with torsion axles, makes it much easier to change a flat tire. If in a pinch you can always pull the tire & runs down the road on one axle a whole lot easier than with leaf springs.
Brakes are ALWAYS a good thing. Why wear out your vehicle brakes pulling a trailer without brakes?
Look for 15" tires & go for the tires that are rated for more than what your trailer will ever weigh.
DON’T cheap out on the tires! If you’re in a pinch, that’s one thing… otherwise run the best tire you can afford… blowouts suck & do damage to trailers…
Just my thoughts on trailers, and pulling them around for years.
That’s my plan. Thanks!
Are you guys pulling these 14ft dual axle trailers with a half ton truck. And have you run into any problems if so.
There’s a bit extra friction from four wheels, they’re working against each other and causing resistance in tight turns.
But seriously, if your tow vehicle is being bossed around by your trailer… stop driving a Prius 
I have pulled a similar trailer MANY miles over the years and loaded pretty heavily with a half ton pickup and had no issues.
Always worth remembering…trans coolers and more frequent trans service intervals.
