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?
Yes - that's a pintle loop sliding out the left edge of the picture.
Since we've previously established that you don't have a large
commercial-type truck, you are not equipped to pull this thing. Putting
a pintle hook in the receiver of a pickup does not magically make the
pickup suitable to pull a pintle-loop level of load. This thing wants a
dump truck to pull it.
Keep looking.
I think the suggestion to look for a gooseneck is a good one, if hauling
with a pickup (you've got what - a 3/4 ton?) - having experienced a
trailer removing the bumper of a 1-ton crew-cab truck, it's the sort of
experience I'd suggest avoiding. A gooseneck is a much more robust
hitch, that puts the trailer load in a far better place.
