[Rhodes22-list] Single or double axle?

[Bob Keller]

Frank,

If it is a new or very recent (2006 or newer) trailer then single axle should be fine and the lighter trailer will help you if you are pulling it with a Highlander.  If it is not a new trailer you are probably better off with a dual axle.
