    looking at a dump trailer tomo

    Hi guys, I found this trailer online for sale $3400. The seller states its 12x6 10k rated trailer. Had a couple questions I know you guys could help me out with. 1) How well or not well will a 2020 f150 v6 do towing this ? I anticipate it would do just fine unloaded but probably be somewhat...

    looking for my first truck and trailer.

    These trailers are cool, cant seem to find one anywhere though. ( LLC, Insurance is in motion.... ) I much prefer the idea of a dump truck with a 5'ish foot skid platform between the cab and truck...Not sure if I can get a just under CDL truck + skid platform and dump body for under $35k ...

    Also, this one is CDL - how appealing is a behind the cab crane like this ? never used one myself. Looks like it would need some modifications to chip into obviously. https://www.gordonmotorcar.com/details/used-1997-chevrolet-c7500/82960669 Here is a fuso dump in my price range - thoughts on...

    looking for my first truck and trailer.

    Thanks SeanRuel, you got it right - tight streets and hills ...however I operate primarily outside the city but tons of tight driveways and some hills so it almost might as well be the same. As long as the truck handles a full load of chips and or/wood better than a 1 or 1.5 ton truck. I...

    looking for my first truck and trailer.

    wow thanks everyone. this is very helpful and you really got me thinking more about this so thank you. I don't exactly have an official business as this has just been a side hustle thus far, I would have to figure out if it is even possible to get approved for financing without a real official...

    not entirely opposed to financing. I just don't have any knowledge to take the first step heh. Also will only be using the equipment 2-3 times per week the most for a while anyways. perhaps a balance of buying something cash and financing the other or some is the play. Planning phase is getting...
