No, not tied to the Hi Lo and I only have a deposit on it so, if I do not want it after seeing it, I get my money back. My major attraction is the low profile.

The trailer was weighed today by the dealer @3400#; much more than I suspected so maybe it is a 25' as it measures from ball to bumper.

OK, the box measures about 15 1/2' and the upper measures 18 1/2'.

Something in the papers inside says it weighs <3K# (2947#?).
