HF Trailers 4X8 Folding vs 4X8 Non-Folding

[IslandStorm62]

Folding 4x8 has 1195 Lbs Capacity(1450 GVW)

vs

Non-Folding 4x8's 1720 Lbs Capacity (1980 GVW)

Here we go. yes I understand that a trailer that can hold more weight is better. However, for the purposes of a Tear Drop Trailer is there really a need for the higher weight capable trailer.

The only true reason for using the lower weight capacity trailer is....the budget.

So, a question for our seasoned Tear Drop travelers...is there overwhelming justification to pay the extra $61.00 dollars for the Super Duty utitlity?

Have any of you went for the lower weight capacity trailer and, after the fact, wished they had gone with the bigger one.

I just came from my local HF and am ready to buy the trailer, I just haven't figured out which way to go. Comments?

I used the heavier one. If I remember right the folder has 4 bolt tires. Not sure on any other big differences. HF always has a 20% off coupon, do you have one?

Thanks. Where can I find one of those 20% Coupons. The HF Super Capacity Ttrailer (1720 Lbs Capacity) is on sale until 31 MAY for $354.99. I wonder if that coupon can be used at the same time.

Thanks for the coupon link. Even with the link, I still can't find it on my own. I'm going to print it out and take it to HF and pick in a couple days; they have three in stock. Hopefully, they accept the coupon in addition to the sale price.
