Just a suggestion, Look for a trailer with brakes on both axles. You need the second axle brakes for good stopping with the weight of our old Dodges. Also consider a trailer with a 12,000 #rate rather than 10,000#. Figure the 10,000 #weight rate, minus the weight of the trailer, approx 2500# = 7500# max load. Your getting near the weight of some of the older Dodges and if they have extra equipment in the bed you may exceed the weight capacity.
