One point about the surge brakes. To be honest, when I bought this trailer, I was looking for electric brakes. However, a couple of things I didn’t think about were how flexible and convenient surge brakes are, and how low-maint they are. It’s not common to have a brake controller installed on an SUV, but even so, it was easy to lend the trailer to friends in need. From a tow-feel and performance standpoint, I’ve now towed with both types on my X5 (I went to the trouble to install a controller before I bought a trailer...waste of money it turned out), and they tow exactly the same under most circumstances. In a fast-stop situation, the hydraulic powered, drum based surge system has more stopping power, and as a result, felt more stable.
Note: Car, SUV, Fuel jugs not included.

The hard part is getting the bolts to the right locations. You need to disassemble parts of the trailer to get the bolts into the slots. But once the bolts are there, it's trivial to move stuff around.

TTT - Total weight with a GT4, gas and spare tires is under 4500lbs. And it's aluminum, so if you must store it outside, it doesn't care.

For the trailer I just bought, I worked out a deal with a provider on uSHIP where he shared the fee of transporting a car using my trailer, which resulted in an overall much lower rate. uShip is effectively like selling something on ebay - you can name a fixed price or see what a bidding war will do. The providers that bid on your shipment typically have ratings/reviews and appropriate insurance. I've successfully used it 3 times now to move trailers.
