The ad says the bare trailer is 1350 pounds, up here these go for considerably more after duty, taxes and transportation.

I don't think there's any duty on car trailers, and the taxes would be the same either way.

Gst at the border and Riv (tax) are extra, only PST on a private sale

Not for the last 2 years buddy. HST on everything now. Yes, RIV applies, but there is no duty on US trailers.

[TriumphTR7]

Well that's something, I haven't bought a used vehicle in the last two years, I better start scanning the ads...


Thanks

Importing a trailer is RIV at the boarder along with the federal part of the HST (basically the GST) You then pay the balance (PST) when you register the trailer at the MTO

Anyone know what a comparable all-steel trailer would weigh for comparison's sake?


This is certainly a very nice & clean looking trailer. Side entry into the storage area also looks well thought out.



Is the purpose of that assembly on top of the storage area to help manage airflow over the rest of the trailer & it's cargo?

The uhauls weigh over 2500 lbs

2210 pounds according to this site

You can find lighter steel trailers but not comparable to the one on sale here, as with open decks and no add-ons.

1451 pounds advertised

My mistake, I thought it was 2510.

I wouldn't put a stolen car on that ebay trailer. The uhaul is a good representative of a solid, bare flat top made out of steel.

This is the one I'm comparing it to.

I'm trying to get the total weight (car and trailer) to <3500 lbs. With the trailer weight at 835#, that leaves me 2600 for the car. I realize there's typically more "stuff" to go with the car, but this is basically for transporting the car occasionally, as I plan to leave it at the track and only move it for servicing.

[TriumphTR7]

Just a caution to check the owners manual of the tow vehicle that you are planning to use. I had a 2004 Caravan and was planning to haul my Trailex 7031 and TR8 weighing about 2500. The owners manual required use of a weight distributing hitch for trailers over 2000. The Trailex will not take a weight distributing hitch, I have asked the company and they said that it would tear the front of the trailer off. That was part of the reason for selling my Trailex last year.
