This is called a balance tilt trailer, its used for equipment like tractors, bobcat, excavators, your equipment has to balance itself to put weight on your back in of the truck so you won't need sway bars. Wrong truck and trailer combination and dot will flag you because weight is wrong.
The trailer and truck needs to be level without a load on it. That trailer is designed for heavy equipment, so a person or 2 is going to have an issue tilting it. That's also why most have hydraulic controls.
We have a trailer like this that we use to haul a 12,000 lb mini ex all the time . We have put different cars from time to time but when doing low cars we use the wood in a stair step stagger to avoid dragging the bumper
You need a full trailer. You need a full trailer for you. Remove your hitch as a nice truck as a nice Ram. II couldn't do stuff with that. If you had to get you get, you know an old Dodge to do stuff doing Holland cars in South beautiful trailer and I'm up and I end up and I forward.

I have an East Texas 24 foot full hydraulic tilt trailer and I had the same problem. I ended up damaging my cylinder because the hitch sit way too low. Once I got a taller hitch, it solved all the problems. Now I just need a larger truck since I’m pulling it with a Toyota tundra.
I’m sure it was already said in the comments, but the set up brother has is off. He needs a taller truck, plus his trailer is “technically” a equipment trailer. It’ll be a learn’n curve, he has 2 find the “sweet spot” 4 his pivot point. Only way it’ll slam down is if he doesn’t have any fluid in the cylinder. I have a tilt trailer & it is a full tilt…Ya’ll went & seen Twisters, welcome 2 Oklahoma life my guys! 😂
Wrong type trailer for car hauling IMO. Two small cars can fit the deck but you can only load one and this has no provision for ramps when tilt deck is locked. The 1500 and this trailer is potentially a ticket being towed, though you might get by with it. When I was involved in an accident , not my fault, towing my 18" L x 84' W car hauler with my 2500 PU, the Officer asked , "The trailer is 16" right?" He asked me twice and he said, "Yeah , it's 16," and put it on the report. (It is specific to deck length and width, not overall length.)Turns out he listed my truck as a 1500 and it seems there is a legal definition of tow vehicle capacity to trailer length. This combination loaded, 1500 and trailer pictured, may not be covered by an insurance claim, subject to legal definitions if involved in an accident not to mention going commercial and subject to DOT regulations. Ram's specs says this same truck equiped with 321 gear can tow a max of 6790 lbs and up to 10,390 lbs if it has 392 gear ratio. Similar trailers wiegh 4300 lbs empty leaving a low side payload of 2490 lbs and high side of 6090 lbsbased on RAM's specifacations. I'm no expert, just did a lot of research to kind of understand the rules when I found and rebuilt my trailer. Check to be sure. I'm happy for you getting a piece of equipment like that and know with a friend like KJ, you will get nothing but good advice. Nothing but success!
Needs a real truck 2500-4500 and a different trailer that would be very frustrating to load something that don’t run. This is an equipment trailer for skid steers and such.
THIS MAY BE AN ODD QUESTION.....BUT DID THIS TRAILER COME WITH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS?.....ALL THE TILT EQUIPMENT TRAILERS THAT I HAVE SEEN WILL TOUCH THE GROUND WITHOUT ANY RAMPS.....AND IN "ANY" HITCH POSITION.....HIGH.....LOW.....OR MEDIUM.....MAYBE HIS HYDROLIC CYLINDER NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED "OUT" SOME?....THEY CAN HAUL EQUIPMENT AND MOST VEHICLES WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE.....AND YES.....HIS TRUCK IS TOO SMALL TO SAFELY PULL THAT TRAILER.....
I'm not trying to be funny you don't even pulling up that size trailer anything heavy for a 1500 1500 only a notch above a car he will need to find himself for 3500 4350 or 450 Chevy a Ford I don't think Dodge even make a 4500 but in case they do do you need a 3500 or a 4500 pickup and yeah they come in crew cab too I think the old trucks were called Topkick but you taking a heck of a chance hauling with a 1500 they don't have design of a 3500 or 4500

He can pull that he just can’t put 5500 pounds on it
After watching you crank the handle on that trailer jack I remember why I will never have a trailer without an electric jack.
😂😂😂😂 14k trailer with a 1500 truck that's the problem!

That's some tall tires for a tilt trailer it must be made for a hauling heavy duty equipment
You absolutely right

Seems like exactly what may be happening with his setup. Thanks for the info!
The bad problem with a half tilt trailer he can't use a winch without the cable hitting...

I would lift it as well. So that way u dont have to crank as much
Trailer is for a heavy duty 3/4 ton pickup.truck not high enough for it to operate efficiently.
Very nice trailer!!! I appreciate how you helped a brother out. What vehicle did he use to tow the box truck?
That same truck 😬 ruclips.net/user/liveMdnJIIRYTuE?si=BfDBmASFyQfpggrn
Bro needs to get that taillight fixed thats a ticket ready to happen from a cop having a bad day!
Yes, big facts. He said he was gonna fix it when he got home
Everything is working fine he just needs a heavier truck and to set the hitch height proper
My thoughts EXACTLY.
The trailer is built to be towed with a 3/4 ton or have your truck not a 1500
Im thinking like you , His truck an hitch is low Beast rear is also higher he might need helper springs to keep the back height up.
Heavy trailer gonna sag, Good idea would be to raise the rear of his truck too.
I might be wrong but it look like the back tires are higher then it should be
that trailer is not gonna work 4 little cars he needs a full tilt trailer u r right it is 4equitment
It just went up and down with a person
The problem with the tilt trailer is lack of maintenance. It has to be lubricated regularly.
Yea he needs a bigger or taller truck for that trailer
THOROUGH RESEARCH AND PLANNING IS IMPORTANT... 👨🏫😎💪💪💪💪💪

Anybody goona say anything about that Black eye brake light hanging and Crunk Crunk bed 😮

This device will help you back up to your trailer hitch
that's pretty cool there!
I have tilt trailer you have balance out hitch with trailer
Made for skidsteers and trackhoes
He Either need at least a 2500 or he can put some air bags on his.
Needs a real truck 2500-4500 and a different trailer that would be very frustrating to load something that don’t run. This is an equipment trailer for skid steers and such.
1000% agreed
He really need a 2500 🤕🤕
I can't believe that with all da improvements you've made to yo equipment that U haven't installed backup cameras. 🤔
I have a backup camera but with the way i have my adjustable hitch setup, it blocks it. If i lower it a little, i can see it again.
THIS MAY BE AN ODD QUESTION.....BUT DID THIS TRAILER COME WITH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS?.....ALL THE TILT EQUIPMENT TRAILERS THAT I HAVE SEEN WILL TOUCH THE GROUND WITHOUT ANY RAMPS.....AND IN "ANY" HITCH POSITION.....HIGH.....LOW.....OR MEDIUM.....MAYBE HIS HYDROLIC CYLINDER NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED "OUT" SOME?....THEY CAN HAUL EQUIPMENT AND MOST VEHICLES WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE.....AND YES.....HIS TRUCK IS TOO SMALL TO SAFELY PULL THAT TRAILER.....
You shouldn't need any wood for a regular height car. It defeats the purpose of a tilt trailer
I agree
thats a counter balance problem with a vavle bro
New subscriber. That hitch is too low. And that truck I think might be a little too small for it.
Thanks for the sub! Ive been catching up on some of your videos, too. Also, I agree with you on both accounts!
@@10TowsDownTowing same brother! Glad I came across your channel.
Hey what’s up bro how are you much love let’s go
That’s to much more work u have to do lmao😂 smh
Are the rear tires on the white truck inflated all the way?
I can only assume so
@@10TowsDownTowing they look low that could also effect the height on the trailer
OK you keep saying it's the hitch is too low but I don't think he's listening
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think I finally proved it to him by the end.
I don't think he got the right truck for that trailer. Your dulley seems more appropriate
Huh, it's a combination of height and weight fella 🤔
E ir al cine y luego al teatro 🎭 o
He needs get a 2500 dodge ram or 3500 dodge ram
