And to think I was put out that my trailer plate went up to $20 this year...
Local tax is another $5, my insurance company charges nothing for it though.

It's hard to beat a small utility trailer for occasional hauling
duty. Less than $1000 _including_ a hitch on the tow car, low
tax, hitch it only when you need it, and even the little ones
have 1000 lb (500 kg) load capacity making it comparable to a
half-ton pickup.
Oh, and the deck is lower so loading/unloading is easier.
I think I just convinced myself!! I should go buy one! A
companion for the big one I have already.
