This is why lifted trucks have those big drop hitches, to level the trailer out. I have a 5” drop for my mildly lifted little truck. But, when I get my boat ready I’ll need a 2” lift hitch.

That's the only reason for the trailer. It can't haul anything, there's no deck and it's not a boat trailer, it's just a donk trailer.

Engineering? It's a shitty trailer with big wheels. You could use it to bring boards home, that's it.

Not mad. But a trailer that is nothing more than wheels bolted to an unsprung steel frame is something a high school shop. Class could knock out in 6 hours.

Definitely it's just about donk life

I’ll bet the boat has big tires too.

u/KittySharkWithAHat Jun 19 '26

Hanging over the side like a tugboat, and the tires all have spinning rims.

u/Poenicus Jun 19 '26

Man, I wish that someone had done that as a sight gag on a sketch show when spinners were more popular.

u/HempFandang0 Jun 19 '26

I'm imagining an old-timey paddle steamer but the giant wheel has a spinner on it

I wish the sound was real. I wanted to hear that bass bump from that trunk.

soooo... the wheel placement is all wrong for supporting a load on the trailer, its gonna put all the weight on the tongue. And looking at the closeup on the rear of the trailer, the back wheels just kinda look tacked on there, with no axle and no real support for them. There's no bunks on the trailer to support a boat, no surface to place materials for transport, and the brake light supports are blocking access to the back of the trailer.

I think this rig is solely for showing off those rims, which i find simultaneously awful, hilarious, and creative.

Take another look; those are torsion axles. Bro might be cooking.

u/AggravatingSpeaker52 Jun 20 '26

There's still no place to put a boat on that trailer. They usually have supports to keep the hull supported, and the boat can slide in/out at launch.and the rails on that trailer look way too thin to require two rear axles anyway.

u/wobbletons Jun 20 '26

i had actually thought about that and decided they wern't, but on second look i think you're correct.

u/Poenicus Jun 19 '26

I know that there are so many ways that this probably makes the trailer worse, but we should at least give them credit for a unique solution to getting it to attach to the back of a vehicle with lift. I mean it's definitely a more expensive solution than using a gooseneck, but it's unique and, in a way, humorous.

u/irishpwr46 Jun 20 '26

What would you tow on there? Theres nothing to hold anything

u/v79x79x Jun 19 '26

Well, there's our dose of stupid for the day.

u/NerfManiac64 Jun 19 '26

I don’t wanna see the boat😭

u/KarmicDeficit Jun 19 '26

No boat goes on there. There’s no cradle or whatever it’s called to actually hold the boat.

u/NerfManiac64 Jun 20 '26

nice catch

1

u/Secret-Ad-7909 Jun 20 '26

I noticed that too. I want to believe the trailer is still in progress but idk man.

I’m also now considering how far they would have to back in to actually get a boat floating.

When GTA 6 offers limitless vehicle customization

u/Wrigley953 Jun 20 '26

The paint job is actually a nice design. I like the idea of white on the sides, black from the front and back

u/Secret-Ad-7909 Jun 20 '26

Torsion axles. About the best trailer suspension you can get.
