It is 10k lbs and has a tilt bed (I believe). Also has ramps.

I want to use it for surplus dealings for larger items. Any comments?

IMHO, if you're planning on hauling serious weight, you need a 5th
wheel / gooseneck trailer. These trailers are made for serious tonge
weight and a one ton or more truck to pull it makes a nice
combination.

This trailer is too heavy leaving little load capacity with the bumper
hitch being the problem. Now, these do work well behind a 2+ ton dump
truck.

Karl, not to argue, but aren't they all like this?

This is a Kaufman trailer: http://goo.gl/iEi7V

The wheels also seem to be pretty far to the back.
