I have an old pickup truck that doesn't get enough use to justify keeping it. Every time I try to start it up the battery is dead and I have to wait and charge it. The only thing I really use it for is the occasional trip to my local lumber yard or for getting bulky items from the BORG. Anyway, I'm thinking of getting rid of the truck, putting a trailer hitch on my SUV and getting a utility trailer for hauling stuff. Does anybody here have experience with hauling wood this way and is there anything in particular I should look for in a trailer? Pretty much my only criteria is I want something big enough to hold full sheets of plywood laid flat.
This one I think would do fine:

And this one might work if the drop gate is removable. Plywood would hang out the back by about 16 inches, but I would think that would be OK as long as I put a good strap around it.

Anybody got a strong opinion on this or is it pretty much a no-brainer and I'm over-thinking it as usual.
