I am checking out options for a trailer I wanted to set up. hoping anyone can help me out here.
What's good to have? A gooseneck, stow ramps, dual jacks, storage box!!! And hopefully nothing too costly! What other must haves I should consider?

I'm gonna keep it simple and short, gooseneck = super stable, stow ramps = big convenience, dual jacks = easier hookups and the toolbox up front is a must then you can add LEDs, a spare tire mount, and maybe a winch if you'll haul dead weight.

To add to @MadameOpera you're also gonna need some good lighting setup for safety and also maybe check weight ratings to know your towing capacity. Might be good to finish with a rust-resistant coat.

You can also consider things like LED lights for safety, tie-down points. Keeping costs down is doable if you prioritize quality on key parts like brakes and tires. What will you mainly be hauling with the trailer?
 
I agree with everyone else here but curious though, what are your storage or toolbox brands? I need something durable and preferably large

THANK YOU!

Don't get me wrong, storage boxes, lights, goosenecks and all that good stuff comes in handy but the priority should fall on the tires and brakes. Newer models have electric brakes and are pretty good, but the surge ones also do the job well
 
Hey there! Sorry for jumping in a bit late. First, figure out the weight, axles, and brakes, as they're the base. Next, throw in recovery tools, tie-downs, and lights, whatever fits your needs
