There's some irony in that statement. Guys with big Heavy Duty series pickups that never get used as such must think they look cool, but most of us just think they look like posers.

Look at the pipes on that one !!
We always just dropped the tailgate and backed into a snow bank to load a snowmobile.
I have a half ton crew cab short box. Bed gets used for hauling smaller items when needed.
This is exactly the same system I have. 1/2 ton crew cab with heavy-duty rear springs + 7000 GTWR trailer with 16' closed-side box and ramp. Way easier picking up 12' or 16' lumber in that trailer, than in any pickup, even a "long bed". Plus, I use the trailer for hauling firewood, and mounted a winch on the front for fast retrieval of logs, rather than heaving rounds into a stupid pickup bed. I haul maybe 10 loads of logs per winter, from various sites to my house.
Mines almost identical except it has the dove tail. 7,000lb gvwr as well. I haven't attached a winch to mine though.
Same. But because I store this outdoors on dirt, it will rust out. Building another carport/garage is way down the priority list, as for some reason I'll never understand, my wife thinks the six garage bays I have should be enough.
Tags are no big deal here, I can register for five-year increments, and it's not expensive enough that I even remember the cost. But... we're supposed to have anything with brakes inspected and stickered every year. I try to get around to that, but since my hauling is all pretty local, I probably only average every 2nd year. I can (and do) test the brakes myself, every time I use it, and the damn inspection place charges more for a trailer than they do for my pickup truck!
No inspection here. You should see some of the daisies out there on the roadsSame. But because I store this outdoors on dirt, it will rust out.

Looks similar to my BNM Trailer Sales from Michigan. Any chance the same manufacturer? Jon
That's a Big-Tex Vanguard 70TV. Not sure if BNM is private-labeling Big-Tex, or the other way around, but wouldn't be totally surprised either way.
I have been to BNM's shop among a farming community. Small shop, started by dad years ago and the boys grew up in the business and have since taken over. Not sure they would have any connections to other manufacturers. Been happy with the two I had/have. The 16ft looking like yours they incorporated items I wanted and increased the weight limit for my needs. Plus they painted it instead of using powder coating like my previous one (that peeled from improper preparation). Jon
That was my experience, lots of peeling. I didn't know it was universal.
