I have an SUV, but no pickup, and I'm doing enough home renovations that I'm considering
getting a trailer to tow behind it, for plywood, lumber, and such. Anyone have
recommendations for something that (a) won't break the bank, but (b) will reliably
haul 4x8 ply?

You'll want a so-called utility trailer with a bed that is at least 4x8.
You don't say what kind of SUV but that makes a big difference. Also,
if you're going to be hauling stuff on a highway at highway speed then I
highly recommend a dual-axle trailer with electric brakes. Towing a
trailer with brakes involves installing in your SUV a brake controller,
wiring harness, and plug receptacle. Dual axle is far safer than single
axle, in the event of a tire blowout.

A trailer or RV dealer can help you with all this. Ask people you know
who have trailers to recommend dealers who won't sell you more trailer
than your SUV can handle. To save money, I would shop for a good used
trailer from a reputable dealer.

But why not get building supplies delivered by the seller? Delivery
does not cost a lot, unless you live way, way out of town.
