Hey, yer on the right track!
Electric brakes, heavy axles and chassis, heavy weight carrying capacity tires, plank floor, all that stuff!
you can always add more floor to it.
if your truck is a v/8 it is better for hauling heavy loads--send a man out to do a man's job, so to say! If you have an automatic tranny, you should have the larger transmission for heavy hauling! Or a 4-speed stick shift is better!
A tip: you can't use the step bumper to pull it--some guys and some states require a pintle hook type of hitch, for really heavy loads, like machinery or tractors. Better be safe than sorry, like watching yer prize tractor and trailer scampering down off the road, into a creek or lake, or hitting an on-coming car full of kids heading for the ol'swimming hole!
and, it wouldn't be called a utility trailer(to avoid paying higher license fees!) Better check yer state's regulations before jumping into hot water!
