NC trailer requirements

Recommended Posts

I'm getting a utility trailer this weekend(buying new from harbor freight).  Does anyone know what I have to do to get it registered?  Can I do it online or do I have to wait in line?  Does it have to be wired up right away if it's not blocking the car's taillights?

 

I've never had to deal with this before.  tia

Actually, when I worked at Lowe's we sold utility trailers and had to all the DMV paperwork in the store before the customer left the lot with it hitched up. You should leave the store with all the title work done, so all you have to do is take what they give you to the DMV since it is simply being retitled in your name versus the store.

used to be in nc you didnt have to have tail lights on the trailer if you could see the towing vehicles lights clearly.

 

That's what I'm currently looking into.  My car didn't come with a trailer hitch so I'm putting an aftermarket hitch on it and will have to wire it up myself.  The wiring kit I'm looking at says it needs a line going to the battery, which seems odd to me.  I don't want to crawl completely under my car to route a line if it's not necessary.  

 

From what I've read, if the trailer blocks the car's break lights OR it's longer than 8 ft, then it needs to be wired.  The trailer I'm getting is exactly 8 ft.

Most cars, even without a hitch, have a wiring harness connector tied into the tail lights somewhere so you can run trailer lights. You'll have to pull back the trunk liner around the tail lights to find it.  

 

And your car owner's manual should also tell you how to connect trailer wiring.

Like ABH said, there should be a small place where you can "jump" it from the brake lights.

 

If not just splice a brake light and run it from there, just make sure you get a good ground.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
