How to Choose a Trailer

Sometimes, your truck bed just isn’t enough. Even the biggest ones can’t fit everything, which is where a trailer comes in handy. When you’re buying a trailer, you’ll want to make sure it can cover as many of your bases as possible and ensure you can make the most of it. Check out the tips we provide below, then stop by True Value Trailers & Power Equipment, in Florence, Colorado, to check out what we have available right now.

What Are You Hauling?

Trailers are incredibly versatile, and as a whole, they can transport just about anything you need them to. However, individually, they’re generally designed for a limited range of items, so make sure you get one that covers the range of items you’ll most often transport. This could be anything from work tools, to powersports vehicles, to loose material. The first two might benefit from an open trailer, while the latter might be easier to transport with a dump trailer.

You’ll also want to consider if you should be looking at enclosed trailers. They’re going to cost a little more, but they can protect your cargo from the elements and from debris that gets kicked up around them. Consider how precious your cargo is and whether that extra cover will be worth it.

How Far Are You Travelling?

You’ll also want to consider how far you travel or how often you use it. The more time you spend using your trailer, the more seriously you’ll want to consider what your trailer is made out of. You’ll want a model that’s going to last, and the right building materials are going to help make this happen, even if you put your trailer to work day in and day out.
