Trailer title-- Do l need a title for a small trailer?

• In Illinois, l need a small trailer. just 4 x 8. do l need a title to drive the trailer??

• Answer:

  Yes. Let's start with the legal definition. TA Trailer (3,000 pounds or less) License Plate Larger View A trailer is defined as "Every vehicle without motive power in operation, other than a pole trailer, designed for carrying persons or property and for being drawn by a motor vehicle and so constructed that no part of its weight rests upon the towing vehicle" (625 ILCS 5/1-209). One plate is issued to each trailer. TA trailer license plates have either all numerals or numerals with a two alpha suffix. It requires a title and a plate.
