Converting Old ’87 Toyota Pickup to a Trailer? Hello everyone. I have been a long time Toyota owner. I have a 1985 4Runner and a 1987 Toyota 4x2 pickup. The ’87 is getting to the end of its life. The engine runs rough and has trouble idling. I have moved here from Utah I don’t want to go through the hassle of registering it here in Nevada since it needs a lot of work. Here are the details on the truck 1987 Toyota X-Cab Long Bed 4x2 4cyl 22R Carb 5sp Manual 228,000 miles Utah Salvage Title How hard would it be to convert this truck into a trailer in the state of Nevada? My biggest concern is the Utah Salvage Title and obtaining a Nevada license plate for this now trailer. I have gone to the Nevada DMV website and there was no clear answer. Thanks for taking the time to read this post. |

I know law is a miserable read but it covers your vehicle and trailers among other things. http://leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-484D.html As far as I know as long as you can prove it's yours and it meets the requirements for a trailer in NV it's registerable. |

I did the same thing with an old S-10 pickup. They mainly do a safety check inspection, create a VIN plate and new title for it. If you have the old title, just bring in case they ask, but I have never heard of anyone needed to prove ownership. They sometimes ask for receipts to create a value for registering purposes if it's home made. Anyway these are the guidelines they inspect by, at least from my experience http://www.dmvnv.com/pdfforms/equipreqtr.pdf |

thanks for all the great feed back. as much as i did not want to sell this truck, it just seemed to be easier to sell it complete vs parting it out. I was very sad when it drove off to its new home, but i have a feeling that it will have a strong second life with our friends in mexico. thank you again to everyone for all their suggestions. |

Not particularly apples to apples, but for what it's worth. Back in the 1960s, my father bought at an auction a 1950s U-Haul trailer, a small, open 6' single axle typical of the era for U-Haul. In 2009, after sitting for several years since Dad is well up in his 80s and hasn't driven for some years now, I brought the trailer home from California. Registering it in Nevada was easy. I didn't bring the trailer to DMV, so the clerk gave me a form and suggested I have a county sheriff deputy sign off on it. He came over within a half hour of my calling and simply checked the license, title and the serial number (figures welded to the tongue). He then signed off on it, I went back to DMV and I got a new title and plate in minutes. |
