It's got rust on it by the license plate already. For an "almost new" trailer that's kinda strange. But truthfully it looks really sharp. Sweet looking hauler. Given that for safety reasons they always rate those things way under what they can actually carry I wouldn't let the weight worry you.

All right I will check on brakes Oz, is that a brand name of disk brakes?

Also the rust is not from the trailer but from a old boat that was stored on it and leaked a rust onto it.

Yes. Tie-Down is a brand of brake and brake parts. I have a set on my trailer. 3 years old and still working fine... but I've heard a lot of horror stories from other people about rust and things falling apart. Maybe mine are still ok cause I flush them after each trip?
