George,
I don't have a price yet from this manufacture yet, but another one in the same area (MO not MI) has a standard price on a 20' w/2' dovetail (18'+2') of $2,950. It has 2 brakes and 2 6,000# axels, new 16" tires and wheels. Each axel only needs to carry some amount over half the load and not the full load, don't know the exact ration/specifications.
Two 6,000# axels will normally rate the trailer a 12,000# trailer. My current towing Truck is rated for a max towing of 10,000# so the trailer is capable of more than the truck, but when/if I replace it I will go with a H.O. Diesel and won't have an issue.
Thanks,
Will
