I Bought (and fixed) a Totaled $10,000 Enclosed Car Trailer for a FRACTION of the price!

This was an absolute STEAL! Huge car trailer for under $1000?? Is it possible? What's wrong with it? I bought this thing sight unseen and made a 700 mile trip to get it. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, AND I bought a car on the way back with it too..... :)

Wasn't there a video where a truck lost a similar wheel on a highway and that wheel caused another car in the next lane to flip over?

We can only hope somebody steals those wheels while you go to get the trailer

[@matt13ross]

Home on the truck!!

[@tupov]

Thank you for putting the stock wheels back on LOL those factory rims look 10000 times better.

[@snolvr100]

Words can't describe how much better those stock wheels are

[@P-J-W-777]

The stock wheels look better and as you said won’t cause suspension damage and are actually rated to tow. The aftermarket eliminates what the truck was actually built for as there is. No way I’d ever tow with low profile wide tires like those. On top of that the stock tires won’t cause damage to vehicles behind you as well as yours and are actually legal. You can definitely find wheels and tires that are a bit wider and better looking than the factory that are still tow rated, won’t cause suspension damage, aren’t a danger to cars behind you as well as being legal.

[@malicious1111]

Teenage trends those wheels way better now, of course we still can get nicer ones but at least stock is better than those replaced.

[@LyttonKing]

Actually I had buddies who ran those type of wheels and tow a massive goose neck trailer and his truck’s suspension does just fine.( you could always upgrade to a much better suspension) now the whole damaging thing doesn’t happen as often. But if you really wanna guarantee it, you can put mud flaps on it.. problem solved plus the wide wheels really gives the truck a lot of character, the stock wheels really just makes the entire truck look like a grandpa truck, sorry, not sorry.

[@P-J-W-777]

@@LyttonKing it’s not just about the suspension. Tires have a maximum load rating. It’s stamped right on the tire. Hauling heavy loads you should be utilizing 10 ply or higher depending on the weight. You also don’t want low profile tires like that because there’s no cushion if you hit a big bump or pothole. Plus with heavy loads your tires will compress some as well. Running down the highway at 70-75 mph and having your wheel bent causing a blow out will be very dangerous. Mud flaps also won’t fix all the problem. He would have to put really large fender flairs on it in order to cover the entire wheel. I understand some people like the looks and I understand why. Upgrading your wheels and tires to a better looking larger size while staying inside the fenders is completely possible and done every day. I’ve had to work accidents that were caused by another vehicle be it a car or truck or a semi truck throwing objects through someone’s windshield. In one case an occupant was very seriously injured and in another case it caused a secondary accident when the driver walked other brakes and tried to swerve out of the way thus hitting another vehicle which in turn caused additional crashes. It’s just a safety thing. You have to ask yourself don’t you want your family to be as safe as possible while driving on the road? It’s already dangerous enough, we don’t need something else to worry about as well. It’s why most states created a law stating that your wheels cannot stick out past the factory fenders unless they are properly covered by fender flairs and of course mud flaps and in that case they cannot stick out past the rear view mirrors.

[@FreddyShoop]

The fact you changed them to actually use the truck kinda proves a point people make. They’re not only ugly, but also impractical. Those aren’t the best looking stock wheels but a new set of bigger tires would make them look a lot better. Also, those spiked lug nuts probably don’t seat up against the factory wheel like they should…pretty sure oem lug nuts are shaped a little different.

[@LyttonKing]

People with wide wheels have proven over and over that you can use the wide wheels while towing.

[@FreddyShoop]

@@LyttonKing just because you can doesn’t mean you should

[@SpeCifiC0507]

@@LyttonKing Yeah, and you can also Carolina Squat your truck and tow too, but both of those things just imply you have brain damage beyond reasonable doubt. Thankfully that in of itself is being outlawed in multiple State's. There is a multitude of undisputable reasons as to why manufacturers make their trucks and set them up the way that they do for towing purposes and purposes of the truck itself, and why none of them come looking like this out of the factory.

[@LyttonKing]

@@SpeCifiC0507 never have a Carolina squat in my truck nor do I ever plan so, those wheels makes the truck look good, and it actually surprisingly does it job more than what it should have done

[@matt13ross]

The main reason for the switch was wear and tire on my nice wheels plus driving in the Bronx. They're fine for towing.

[@plus790]

Stock wheels arent great, but It's the offset that makes the aftermarket wheels look especially dumb. The spiked lugs don't help.

[@matt13ross]

IDK wherey stock lugs are, hence the spikes.

[@alexanderlamb5689]

Hahaha ​@@matt13ross

[@rafaelg949]

Crazy how much better the stocks look!!

[@AlbertoXP35]

These stock wheels looks way better than the rubber bands. If you don’t like them get a wheel and tire combo that is functional, rubber band are not meant for towing

[@abhijeetmankar772]

Sorry but stock looks the best 😊

[@thomaskaas]

X2…sorry Matt

[@thebigv8644]

Chevy wheels always look great with a bigger tire on them! A 35 on his truck would be perfect.

[@malicious1111]

Finally at least for the time being it's way more nice.

[@bubberrand]

Matt seems to fuck up the wheel selection on everything. Never should of took the #blackwheelsmatter off the yellow Porsche. Then he put those ugly ass stick-eight-miles-outside-of-the-fender wheels on his truck.

[@Cybernetic_Systems]

The tires and wheels actually fit inside the wheel wells! It looks much, much better!

[@brantonw9219]

Stock wheels... much better! Your love of those other wheels has always befuddles me... but to each his own, except on those wheels! Love your channel!

[@SteveDriesen81]

Stock wheels look better than those hideous rims… and if you hate them so much there are tons of options available that have a better stance and tyre to wheel ratio…

[@chrisbaskett808]

Those factory wheels and tires look much better. I can’t tell you how much I hate those aftermarket ones

[@thegrayrider148]

Well Matt, my 2 cents is that the stock wheel setup looks better than your custom combination. You could also lose the spike lug nuts because they scream immaturity.

[@matt13ross]

That's just the lugs I had.

[@trebm3]

Stock wheels with normal nuts all day. I don’t get the other wheels at all. Nice grab on the trailer. Hope you fix it up to your liking.

[@bigospig]

I'm not for the stock wheels, just very much against the bro-dozer wheels.😁

[@travisfabel8040]

Exactly. It's not that we love the stock wheels, it's just that the stock wheels are better than the chosen aftermarket ones. There are other aftermarket choices that more people would agree with

[@mattburford2035]

Your truck looks so much better with the stock wheels 👍ditch those ridiculous ones please 🙏

[@thegreek5672]

You need a different hitch to raise the center point of the trailer so it doesn't front sag and cause your truck to sag.

[@matt13ross]

Yes. But I didint know that until I got the trailer.

[@RideRenewal]

Sorry Matt but as a long time subscriber i said i didn't like them when you first put them on and still😅 haven't changed my mind. Stock so much better, but IMO change the lugs as well. Trucks that are purpose built are built so for a reason mate. Here in Australia with so much gravel the low profile tyres and rims would be useless. My opinion only though. Love the channel.

Amazing price for the trailer and you were able to make a video on it already. Well, my guess of 100k subs by July hasn't happened but I do think it's still going to happen before 2025. While I get why some people do or don't like a certain style of custom or stock wheels, it is your truck and you get to choose whatever wheels you like. Looking forward to see what the car is you just bought as well.
