Picked up the new trailer!!!
Well, my dad and I went and picked up the new trailer on friday. It is a 20ft Ponderosa Brushbuster. Dual 7k torsion axles, both with electric brakes, 10-ply trailer tires (and spare). It is the ford truck color, dark stone, with silver metallic pinstriping. Anyways, here's a pic...

On the tow home, I only had one grade where I couldn't maintain speed, and that was because some moron checked up in front of me for no reason, and I had to let off.
We'll be loading it down for the first time this weekend, so we'll see how it does...

It pulls really smooth with the torsion axles, Gonna have to adjust the next down a little so it will sit a little more level. It looks pretty sweet behind my truck as well, would look a lot better with some black powdercoated rims though.

Well we didn't get it as loaded down as we planned this weekend, had a couple decide they would rather go over the 5.5" panel instead of in the trailer, so the most we got in there was about 6k, plus the trailer at about 5k. It pulled good, you could definitely tell it was there though.
