Hi,
I am at the point where I am ready to buy a trailer and start my build but I need some collective wisdom to help me decide which trailer to use. I've narrowed it down to two of the usual suspects; the 5x8 Ironton or the 5x8 Ultratow aluminum. I like the weight savings of the aluminum but here is the literal hitch. I would like to put a receiver on the back of the TD to carry a couple of bikes, roughly 80-90 pounds for rack and bikes. I know I could have one welded on the Ironton but could I affix one safely to the aluminum trailer? Also I wonder about how that weight will affect how the trailer tows. I could scrap the whole plan and go back to the roof rack for the bikes but they tend to get pretty 'bugged' up, that is the reason I got the hitch rack in the first place. Thanks for your help.
Mark
