Best single axle trailer
Would RecommendThis thing is small but mighty. The ability to pull the sides off is what sold me. Assembly wasn't as bad as other reviews make it out to be. The lack of a trailer jack was annoying but easily fixed with a welder.

Does what I need, great for small jobs.
Would RecommendWent together really easily. Definitely watch one of the many assembly videos, a few times before you start. The instructions aren't really precise - the fender brackets, and washer, lock nut and jam nut sequences are more guess work than following directions. The video will help here. Seems durable and heavy enough for my "homeowner" needs. I replaced the bolts on the rear tailgate with additional hitch pins so I could fully remove the tailgate when dumping. The license tag hangs low, so w...

Tough Trailer!
Would RecommendTrailer was simple to assemble, and I have hauled gravel, mulch, plywood, and equipment in it. This little thing is a tank! Absolutely worth the money. Comes with the title so getting plates at the DMV is extremely easy, at least in Virginia.

Great service
Would RecommendThe associate I encountered for pick up was fabulous. My special order utility trailer needed a fork lift to bring it to the parking lot. Friendly, efficient, helpful, overall great. Best experience in years. I was surprised because that is not my usual experience at a DIY store.

Great trailor
Bought this trailer 3 years ago, I have used the heck out of it. Put in a tarp and have hauled at least 50 loads of pea gravel. Still no rust and going strong!

Utility Trailer
Would Not RecommendThe directions are horrible. There are tons of different screws, washers, etc and it doesn't explain which ones to use where. Directions say it takes one hour for two people to assemble. It took almost 4 hours for 2 intelligent men to assemble. The company that delivered it for Lowe's had the box attached to a metal pallet. They don't take the pallet back. Now I have a metal pallet I don't know what to do with. The trailer also came with a scratched wheel rim. The box it was all in is punched ...

Not as described.
Trailer looks good. Instructions were horrible. Trailer advertised as 5X7. Desctription says 4.5 feet wide while in actuality its only 4ft 3 inches. Bought it by spec for hauling an ATV. The ATV barely fits as the sizing is not as described. When brought up to the company they pretty much said too bad for you. This is quite unfortunate as I have previously purchased 2 snow plows from them and they have always been great. Now im stuck with a trailer that I will likely have to sell for a massive l...

registration is a nightmare, quality is so-so
Would Not Recommendtrailer is okay, much smaller than we realized. The registration issue has been a massive hassle, to the point where we regret the purchase. Lowe's personnel are not educated on this whatsoever. they neglected to tell us the Highway Patrol had to inspect the trailer to make sure it was built properly b4 it could be registered by the DMV & they gave us incorrect paperwork. Twice. you only have a month to register w/ DMV but you have to wait 6 weeks to get an apptmt w/ Highway Patrol for inspectio...

arrived in bad shape
Would Not RecommendFinally got delivered days after the first scheduled date - I was going to be home that day, it never showed up and then got rescheduled. No delivery time is given, so it got dropped off while I was at work. Got home to a box in tatters on a broken pallet. Who knows what kind of damage is inside, but if I open it up and assemble it, I can't get a refund - will just have to deal with the headache of getting missing/damaged parts replaced. Lowes isn't the "vendor" so it's another company that make...
