New truck, new trailer, newbie.... Questions :-)

Not everybody feels that bigger is better. Maybe he's that rare American who actually prefers simplicity over excess? Seems to me like a light, single axle trailer will require less than half the annual maintenance costs in tires (no scrubbing), bearings and brakes.

I mean, really? It's worth adding a whole axle, several hundred pounds and who knows how much money to turn the bed sideways and avoid the need to "crawl over" a spouse? Personally, I still enjoy that! ;)
