I'm looking for a vehicle and a trailer recommendation for a total of 10K.
We have a family tractor that weighs approximately 2,300 lbs with implements. Dimensions are approximately 15' front to back (with FEL and box blade) and 5' side to side. It will need to be transported within a 75 mile radius of a few properties throughout the year.
In terms of the trailer, I was thinking a 7x16 open utility type with flip down gate. Tandem axels, 7,000 GVWR, trailer brakes, trailer weight of around 1,500 lbs.
In terms of the vehicle to tow it, I was thinking a half ton pick up would do the job. However, the thought of an SUV or Van came up too. 4WD/AWD is mandatory.
The issue is that this vehicle and trailer will be used maybe 20 times per year. The vehicle will not be a daily driver.
The used market will be utilized to find the right vehicle and trailer combination that falls within our budget of 10K.
I am open to all options.
Thank you for your time.
