Bronco + Utility Trailer

[DarthLincoln]

straight 2dr badlands non sas.

Yeah, i have a 2DR Badlands non-Sas and the top of the trailer hitch receiver tube is 20.5” from the ground. U-Haul says all their utility trailers are designed for a ball height that measures 18.5” from ground to the middle of the hitch ball.

A typical 2” hitch ball measures 2” from the center of the ball to the mounting surface (due to the pedestal the ball is formed on), thus the hitch tube I need needs a 4” drop (16.5” - 20.5” = -4.0”) to make the utility trailer level.

That's a really nice trailer - Did you build it yourself?

I found it for sale at a car show. I thought it was a Harbor Freight or similar trailer built to look old, it is actually titled as 1936 trailer. It came with 1935 16" Kelsey Hayes 40 spoke wire wheels, but I changed them to something I thought matched my Bronco.

I've got a Bronco and use a 4x7 utility trailer for a variety of things, and it's a great fit. I don't have any pictures on hand, but I can tell you that it hooks up pretty easily and sits well with the Bronco's height. I got mine from https://www.boomandbucket.com/equipment/trailers and it has the Sasquatch package, so there's some added lift. But the trailer still tracks smoothly, even when loaded.
