Location: Buffalo, TX | busdriver - 2014-07-27 9:07 PM The best trailer is called "PAID FOR"! After that it is not what somebody else thinks, it's what you want and can afford. Take your time and look. What may be the perfect trailer for someone else may be the worst one for you. Look ,at all apects.
I personally wouldn't get anything but 8' wide and 8' tall. I want all aluminum, but I live in the rust belt. Aluminum is not necessarily lighter than steel, etc...
Don't be in a hurry. Sometimes the best deals happen when you aren't looking for them. Goodluck in your search!
I agree 100%....buy the trailer that fits the options you want in the price range you feel comfortable....I sell all brands of used trailers and just like a horse, there is a trailer to fit everyone's needs and price range, and entry level trailers will be perfect for weekend warriors on a budget, that's why there are choices...not everyone needs a high end Platinum, Elite or 4-Star...if you aren't hauling professional and beating the road, then you will be just fine in a Sooner, Sundowner, Cimarron, or other mid range trailer, or even an entry level (just stay away from Bison...sorry).....just make sure the trailer is sound and in good repair, look at all the welds and floor, and check the brakes, and have the dealer walk you through the LQ to see that everything works 100%.... | |

Cindy, do you come across many Logan trailers? Are they well made? | |

Location: Buffalo, TX | Logan's are made in Utah, so we don't see them hardly at all...I had one older one a few years ago on trade, but it was a 90's model, so I don't know much about them, sorry. | |

Location: Ky | Every Sundowner I've ever seen was poorly made. That's old one and new ones. The people owned them complained of roof leaks and poorly fitting windows and doors.
Sundowner sold a ton of trailers because they would trade and finance almost anyone with a pulse.
I was always partial to Elites and owned 3 of them. If I were for a trailer today I would start there again. | |
