If I were frequently needing to haul large things, I would appreciate the utility of a truck-style bed. While my trailer is quite easy to unfold and hook up, it still takes about 5 minutes, and my trailer lights never work, because I think trailer lights were designed by the devil.

Recently I barely hit my shin into a Harbor Freight trailer light and it slightly broke the plastic holding the light to the housing. Somewhere on the highway it blew off entirely.

One day I'll find sturdy LED trailer lights and mount them at a point less susceptible to impact, wire it with speaker wire rather than the garbage Harbor Freight junk, and place it in conduit to keep it from dangling and getting damaged. Only then do I have some small confidence the lights will be reliable.
