To upgrade after purchase will cost more than $90, though, of course.

Smart decision to go w/ the heavier duty version, Frank. While it's usually a good idea to use the least you can to get the job done, I feel like the difference here could have been considered negligible, at best.

I've got a Toyota Tacoma that I'm about to cut in half and turn into a trailer, myself. I can swap the truck title for a trailer title with not too much trouble in PA, from what I hear.
