01 Assembly and Review of Harbor Freight 1720 lb 4 x 8 Trailer

In this video I demonstrate how easy it is to assemble the trailers. I also offer my thoughts on the quality and sturdiness of both the parts and the assembled trailer. This is my honest opinion with no outside influence from complimentary products, advertising, or affiliate links.
Feel free to comment or ask any questions.

There are several differences between the 1195lb Capacity and 1720lb Capacity 4 x 8 trailers:
On the lighter trailer the Crossmembers and Tow Bars are C-channel, but on the HD trailer they are box channel.
The Tow Bar Brackets are longer and more robust, mounting to two holes each rather than one.
The springs and axle are upgraded.
The 1195 trailer uses 4.80 - 12 tires on 4-Lug wheels, with a load rating of B. The 1720 trailer uses 5.30 - 12 tires on 5-lug wheels, with a load rating of C.
The heavier trailer also comes with a 2 inch coupler rather than 1-7/8.
Since the heavier trailer is only $30 more I recommend always upgrading.
Note: As of the posting of this video the 1195 lb trailer is listed as being on clearance, so they might be discontinuing it to make room for their new 5 x 8 modular trailer)
