Just wanting to now any advice on a good light weight trailer that's best for towing behind a Sierra.

If anyone has any advice like sizes etc or where to get a registerable one in Brisbane? I wouldn't mind one smaller than the standard 6 x 4.

Also keen want to take it off road.

I got a ali trailer.
So far had been really great.

If you want to take it off road your are probably going to want steel though (more weight).

Plus sierras aren't really tow vehicles. So light small and minimalist. Is the way to go.

5 x 3.5 trailers are best behind a Sierra, as the track is almost the same.
Minor off road you could spring over and increase rim size to match Sierra.
Major off road may need a stronger trailer which adds weight.
My original camper trailer weighed 300kg loaded, and my Sierra off roaded that well.

on the poly path.

We will be looking very seriously at a POD trailer when we have a second pet monkey.

the pod trailers are great but if you get their fold out tent you lose lots of space, my advice is to mount a roof top tent on top and have the trailer for your gear
