Aluminum Stock Trailers

[Mag]

I'm in the market for a 20-24' aluminum stock trailer. Who makes the best? Who makes crap? Any things a guy should be looking for? Things to avoid?

As a lifetime horse trailer person I'd have to say Featherlite makes the best. But they know it. Shop around, you can usually find a good compromise on price/quality. Good luck.

Barret and Wilson are good trailers, I like EBY my self. The above three all make big pots for tractor trailers. . so the know how to do it right. Featherlite is also good but I would go with an eby. . Expensive. . but great resale value!

Look at the Hillsboro Endura trailer. I have a cargo version and it has been very good.

Featherlite, but like everyone said $$$$$
Why not go steel there is not that big of a difference in weight, and steel is stronger, along with the ability that you can weld it if something breaks ! My stock trailer is a 20' steel Travalong. #ad

My choice would be either Barrett or Sooner. Featherlite is a great trailer,too. But,you're paying for a name. Check around... there are same good deals on good trailers,if you look.

The reason I want to go with an aluminum trailer this time is rust. I've had to sand blast and repaint the steel stock trailer I've got now,twice in twelve years,and this time I was blasting away alot of what used to be trailer.

Try Heartland trailers in Alberta. I think they are now in Nanton, but use to be in Claresholm. Top quality, unique design... awesome.

what are you hauling, horses or cattle.

Alum. is nice and expensive. Rear fender flares seeme to crack, at least on the Featherlite.

My prefernce is a steel "Gooseneck" brand for hauling cows. Very sturdy and long lasting. Keep it clean if not used for long periods or the cow shi+ will rust it quick.

the Alum. do have a great resale as stated earlier.
