"Nice truck, Harry. You gonna get a camper now?"


Camper? Harry could get a custom tent that fits the bed area. If the box was longer, a cap could make a good sleeping area.

Maybe Tim's question was based on Harry's 'following the lead' with so many of his
purchases, e.g. cameras, guns, boats, pickups, and next, maybe, a trailer. Shoot,
with the V6 that thing is rated for about 6800 lbs towing capacity. Some pretty nice
trailers fall well within that capacity.

I wouldn't mind having a small "flatbed" trailer like the landscape guys
use to haul around their lawnmowing gear, but no one in this household
has *any* interest in RV'ing.

I have use for this:

When I had the RAV4 I bought an aluminum Mission 4' x 8' box type utility trailer. I wanted something light (about 280 lbs) that wouldn't rust away sitting outside year after year in our humid climate. If I had known I'd be upgrading to a Highlander in the near future, I would have bought the next size up..a 54" x 96" bed

maybe with the ramps instead of tilt function.
I don't see my particular model here...similar one that had the rail sides instead of my panel sides. http://www.missiontrailers.com/landscape.php


I have three boat trailers around the farm that i use for different applications. I bought junk boats for parts , stripped them out, and saved the trailers. set up myself.

Great for hauling all kinds of stuff.


The good thing about boat trailers is they all look similar so you can
get away with one tag for all of them. Just scrape off the name on the
non-conforming ones. Put the tag on the removable board you mount the
lights on and swapping them around is easy.
