It's a diesel. It already gets better mileage than the Bronco ever did, so that's nice.
Now we're shopping for a car trailer to put the Bronco on. Kevin's done a little online and phone book research and it looks like it will be harder than we thought to find one. Does anyone have any suggestions? His dream trailer would have something on the nose to keep bugs/road debris off the front of the Bronco. He'd also like space to haul some camping gear on it. $2000.00 is our max.

I happen to have a friend ( yes jen I have a friend) that called the other day and said he had just picked up a tlr that he was going to sell. It is 16'x 76" and has 7000 lb axles . I think i can get it for you for around $1000.00. let me know cuz the stuff he moves goes quite fast .

Thanks, but Kevin said the trailer needs to be at least 18 feet long to give room for the Bronco and some extra storage space. I appreciate it. Keep looking! |

I doubt you'll find one with a bug/rock sheild on it already, at least for a reasonable price. Buy some plexiglass or go really low buck and mount some plywood up front. how much more room do you really need? you can buy toolboxes that mount on the tongue of the trailer (they follow the same dimensions as the frame rails) . if you need more room I'm sure with a little bit of fab work and reinforcement you could mount some over the rail tool boxes (the kind that run the lenghth of a pickup bed and mount on top of the bed rail) on top of the fenders.

We're just looking for room for a couple 5 gallon water jugs and a couple of large boxes (one metal, one rubbermaid). Reality will probably hit and we'll have to scale back our wish list. We're going out tomorrow to look at a couple places in Lehi and Orem.

Is it the Cummins 500, or the standard Cummins? If it's the 500 than I'm WAY JEALOUS!!!!
Good luck with finding a trailer. In a perfect world, I'd want a 25ish foot gooseneck so I could haul 2 Jeeps.

I don't know which Cummins it has.
We were out looking at trailers yesterday. They're more expensive than we thought (of course). Kevin said he was planning on doing the bug shield himself. We're still looking around.
