3 Tips for Buying a Utility Trailer

If you’re like the average New Englander who depends on renting and/or borrowing a utility trailer when you need one, you know that it can be expensive, inconvenient, and/or make you an unpopular friend. There’s another option that might be more feasible than you expect. Buying a utility trailer from Hitch King can unlock a magnitude of possibilities. Looking to take your ATV on your camping trip? No problem. Have a yard of mulch you need to spread? Don’t bother with making multiple trips or scheduling a delivery. It’s like owning a pickup truck that you only use when you need it. Like most big dollar purchases, buying wisely is critical. Keep in mind these three rules when buying a utility trailer.

1. Be Prepared

Even if you buy the nicest, most expensive, and most dependable utility trailer, stuff happens. Be sure to always have at least one spare tire, a decent jack, and a four-way lug wrench. Hopefully, you’ll never need to use any of them, but keeping these three items on hand is a cheap insurance policy that you’d be foolish not to have.

2. Practice Makes Perfect

Even if you’ve driven a utility trailer a thousand times, it’s important to log some practice time with your new utility trailer before taking it on the road. Go to your nearest box store parking lot after hours, and set up some cones. It will save you some embarrassment and costly repair costs if you make your mistakes in an empty parking lot!

3. Buy Wisely

It’s extremely important to work with a seller that you can trust. Be sure to ask about customer reviews and do an internet search to be sure you are buying from a reputable source. With Hitch King, for example, you’ll be working with professionals that have been in the industry for more than 40 years.
