Before you buy a trailer, inspect the frame for rust or cracks, especially around welds and the tongue. Check the tires for dry rot and adequate tread, and ensure the lights and brakes function properly. Look at the wheel bearings and ask about their last maintenance. Verify the trailer's GVWR matches your needs, and bring a tape measure to confirm it fits your cargo. A quick test hitch can reveal hidden issues with the coupler and safety chains.
