Looking at 7k dump trailers. 6x10
It is not a huge size, but with GVWR should be within the Tahoe tow ratings of 7,200 LBS (for a 5.3/3.43), plus I have a 6.0 swapped in it. Also that size trailer isn't too small where it'd be pointless behind a 3/4 ton truck. Looks as if they'll easily carry 2 ton so that would be really great for smaller loads of gravel, mulch, topsoil, etc. Pretty much anything a homeowner would need.
Some have 12 ga floors, some have 10 ga.
Anyone have a dump trailer and can comment on gauge of floor or sizes? This thing may see some logs or heavy bits unloaded into it from a couple of feet above the floor from a sub-compact tractor loader. My concern is unloading something and hurting the floor. Maybe I am too ignorant on gauge of steel and worrying too much? I am not a pro with metal.
Thanks.
