@duffy630 It actually had air shocks from the previous owner but they had completely sagged down and I had regular ones put on it...I may need to look at getting better shocks/springs on it.
just a little tip: when you put the load on the axle, you have to take care that the load won`t slide in your trunk when you do an emergency break. Believe it or not: most people don`t do it and they regret it later
@19FD89 I always have put ratchet straps on the cargo to keep it from moving around...you're right, a lot of cargo in trucks and trailers I see is not secured very well.
hey chad i see you put that shroud on ,,,good deal,,,,i figured it would help,,,the timing also like you said makes a big difference.....nice trailer!!!!
An empty trailer probably not going to affect your performance much. Very nice trailer, made in the U.S.A. You are going to want to get stiffer springs and/or shocks for the rear for anything more than an old washing machine.
@talldude123 You're right! But I was looking at used trailers and they were priced almost as much as I bought my new one for, plus the dealer took care of the title and registration for me.
one of these days ill be getting a trailer. i just picked up a little compact tractor and bushhog. thats a nice looking trailer. but you gotta be carfull especially if your hauling fragilethings on that trailer. alot of smaller trailers have no suspension and they bounce like something awful. i know this from borrowing a similar sized trailer. they have leaf spring kits available that will help though if you feel the need
good looking trailer , it is really nice compared to the 5x8's made around here , that one is kinda fancy with the diamond plate fenders and all ...make sure to re tighten those lugs after a few hundred miles , all new trailers will loosen ....
I recommend moving the plate to the back of the ramp. It will get smashed where it is.

Hi Chad, very nice trailer, I'm dying to see what your going to be hauling home in it! take care of you back...

The fan shroud is pretty important. it allows the fan to pull the heat properly, hence the design of it (about the size of the fan itself).

I would recommend air shocks for the marquis. That way they would be adjustable for each load.

Wow, what a nice trailer! Don't forget to practice backing up with the trailer hitched up, in case a situation arises where you need to back it up.
Also pleeeease lubricate the car door hinges before I go crazy, LOL.

Nice trailer. It seems weird for you to have something new, seeming as everything (or most things) you have are "retro" or "old".

Just ditch the fan and shroud and install an electric fan.

That sounds like a great deal, certainly would be a lot easier to get things onto the trailer.
I will look out in the junkyards for a fan shroud if you want and send it to you if I am able to locate one.
Couldn't you pull it with the Ford pickup or do you need some adaptation for the trailer because the truck is higher?

I had a 1976 LTD that rarely got above 190 deg.
I hear the wind in the video. It's just as bad here in Central Texas.
