2019 PJ Trailers B6 Utility — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $2,200–$4,000. This is one of the more reliable vehicles in its class — here's what to watch for anyway.

Kestrel Take

A well-built single-axle utility trailer from a respected manufacturer — PJ's channel-frame construction and quality components put it above the big-box trailers. Great for mowers, ATVs, and general hauling. Bearings, tire age, frame condition, and lights are the inspection. A well-kept PJ is a durable, sensible utility trailer with good resale; verify the running gear and you've got a dependable workhorse.
