I am going to buy a new trailer soon and wanted some feedback on the size, primarily the width.
This is the trailer I will be buying.
The trailer comes in two lengths I would be interested in - 12 and 14 feet.
The trailer comes in three widths - 5 feet, 6 feet 5 inches, 6 feet 11 inches.
I am leaning toward the 14x6'5".

It'll be for hauling whatever I need it to around town, nothing off road, nothing over 3000 pounds either.
Currently hauling lumber, sheets of plywood, push mower, tiller, tool box from work, furniture, moving houses, pallets of stuff, etc. In the future I could maybe buy a canoe or kayaks or a riding mower or a 4x4 and need a trailer wide enough. I would hate in the future to not have a wide enough trailer for whatever random thing I need to haul. My current crappy trailer is just under 4x8 and I hate I cant put pallets or sheets of plywood in it, I dont want a similar issue later.
Basically everything I need right now would work with the five foot wide trailer, but Im looking for input from people what their reasoning was for the width of trailer they bought. I assume the company choose these widths to fit certain things that have a generic width.

 

My 0.02..

Theres no replacement for displacement . Like a garage, you’ll always find or need the room at some point.
But then, I’m always about overkill I have 4 trailers, 26’ enclosed car, low boy equipment, 22’ dove tail car trailer , and a 5x6 high side utility. ‘Most’ times room isn’t an issue, but with the enclosed and the flat car it has.
