The Vihe VENE TR-3500-2AKS-J is a car trailer from Vihe (EU vehicle class O2), built from 2001 to 2005. It is 8,400 mm long and 2,380 mm wide, weighs 620 kg unladen and has a permitted gross weight of 3,500 kg.
The Vihe VENE TR-3500-2AKS-J offers a payload of 2,880 kg – the gap between unladen and permitted gross weight. More than half of the gross weight is therefore available for cargo.
For the driving licence this means: category B allows combinations up to 3,500 kg, code 96 up to 4,250 kg permitted total mass. With a 3,500 kg trailer too little would remain for the towing vehicle even with code 96 – in practice a BE licence is needed, which covers trailers up to 3,500 kg. Being over 750 kg, the trailer must be braked, and the towing vehicle needs a braked towing capacity of at least 3,500 kg.
Among the 15 car trailers from Vihe with a stated length, the Vihe VENE TR-3500-2AKS-J at 8,400 mm is in the middle of the range (rank 7); the range runs from 6,100 to 11,650 mm. The Finnish vehicle register lists 3 units – one of the brand's most common models.
Vihe Vene – other models: Finnish boat trailers (vene = boat) outside the named ranges, two- and three-axle TR versions, 600 to 800 kg kerb weight, 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight
Vihe is a Finnish trailer manufacturer whose Vene range is gathered here outside the named versions; vene is Finnish for boat, so the range covers boat trailers. The type designations follow the pattern TR with the number 3500 for the gross vehicle weight and the axle count as 2AKS or 3AKS (kaksiakselinen or kolmiakselinen, two- or three-axle); the Tandem suffix marks a tandem axle, and Teli, Finnish for a coupled axle assembly, appears on one version with a dual-axle unit.

The register lists 11 versions here with kerb weights from 600 to 800 kg at a uniform gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, placing all of them in category O2 (trailers from 750 kg to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight). Lengths range from 8,000 to 9,950 mm with widths between 2,300 and 2,505 mm.
Trailers of this type carry boats up to the limit of category O2 and are a common trailer type in Finland with its extensive coastline and lakes; the two- and three-axle versions spread the high payload at a low kerb weight across more axles. As light, long versions they extend the range of more compact boat trailers to boats with a longer hull.
When buying a used boat trailer of this length, the condition of the keel rollers and bunks, corrosion on the chassis and axles from contact with salt and fresh water, and the function of the overrun brake and lighting deserve attention. Spare parts for rollers, brakes and axles are available through the general trailer parts trade, as is work on the coupling.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
