Unbraked towing

Are there no single axle lightweight braked trailers that would do what you want or something you could convert to brakes by changing suspension units ??
At least then there would be no legal problems.

Yeah all the main players do something on a theme but they are wicked expensive new and seem to have residual values and scarcity that would make the most desirable collector car green with envy. I know it's a tool to do a job as part of the business but new ones would require selling a big lot of product to cover the cost. Plus there's the added benefit of such a thing being obviously new to the thieving gits that can't leave stuff that ain't their's alone.

I used to be indecisive but now I'm not sure.

I went through all of this and ended up with an Ifor Williams GD84 (8ftx4ft). It's a braked trailer and 375kg empty, so light for the size. It has proper leaf spring suspension rather than the stiff indespension style units. It has a gross weight of 1,400kg, so well matched to the Jimny's towing capacity. I paid around £1200+vat 9 months ago and it has already paid for itself with the amount of use it gets. On top of that, rough looking 15 year old versions of the same trailer are still selling for £1000, so buying new was a no-brainer.





Just my 2 penneth!

Ifor williams gd trailers would be great but by the time of specing up a Gd64 with the livestock kit they start to make your eyes water and whilst a Gd64g is cheaper it is fixed body so less versatile. Arghhhh! Such a simple decision, so very much heart ache.

Sorry quick hi jack of thread

Would I be able to tow a braked 900kg trailer tent?
