Location: B-F-E | I have a bison trailer and have had the same one since 2007. The only real issue I had with it is the fenders blew off after we got a flat tire. Then the fender flew up and took out a couple drop down windows. It was a mess! Otherwise it's a pretty great trailer. Never had any issues with anything on the interior. I few minor leaks but I think thats from my husband not properly blowing out the lines before winter. It is an alumium shell but pullls great. They are cheaper but really, I like them just as much as say a Lakota. |

Location: Oklahoma & Texas | I've had Kiefers, S&H, Featherlite ...and I recently just bought a 3h with 8 ft sw LQ by Bison a trailhand...and I love it...it's a 2015 ordered it exactly how I wanted it and they built it..nothing cheap about it. NRS is a dealer out of OKC and Decatur ( got mine in Decatur) and they stand by them and have a solid reputation themselves...i did a lot of research and looked at them as well as others..i could have spent more on a featherlite or other model but I'm pretty happy with my choice...came with a bumper to bumper warranty and the warranty company comes to you if something happens so I don't have to take it to Decatur to service it. Seems to me Bison has upped their game. |

| They are great for anyone who might be getting all they can afford. They are great for a first trailer. I imagine there are a lot for sale because people are moving up. I love my Bison. Will I buy another? Probably not. I hope I can afford something better when the time comes. |

Location: south GA | I have a bison, on the second one. I will say that you need to keep an eye on your axles. The first trailer the bracket started ripping away from the frame. Noticed it when I barely could fit my fingertips between the tires. No problems with the second one so far! |

| If your not going to pull it a lot, and never try to resell it or trade it in, I say go for it. |

I did have the same problem with mine, but I must say, they paid to have it fixed, and in a hurry. Replaced the tires, and asked for photos of the problem so they could try to design it better. |
