Can be converted to a flat bed with 9" sides (less than $50 initially) and in less than 1 hour. I pull it it behind my 07 Accord V6 easily. I bought a mini-farm 3 years ago and used it a lot as a flat bed.
Behind my Class A RV it is a M/C trailer for 1 or 2 of my 4 bikes.
I tried to justify a "Pick-up" but with initial cost, depreciation, tires, lower gas mileage, & maintenance and the few times I would use it after the 1st year said "NO".
Besides all my "friend"s have Pick-ups (and ***** about the $75+ fill-ups when gas is at $4).
