Aluminum trailers
So since some dousche bag decided he need my trailer more than I did over the weekend and stole mine, I need to buy a new one.
I had an eagle tri axle and it was fine til we moved to GA and smoked the surge brakes to hell with the hills down here so I will be doing electric over hydraulic this time instead and will be done with it.
I am thinking of going to an aluminum trailer this time and would like to know who has them for their formulas now, what it is, how they hold up etc.
I have emailed for quotes to about 8 different trailer mfgs tonight so we will see what happens.
Any input on this would be great.
Thanks

You pretty much have two options. Spend the coin on a welded aluminum Myco, perhaps a few bucks less on a Manning.
And then there is everyone else that makes bolt together trailers.
There's a few manufacturers that make welded aluminum trailers, but I have yet to see any of them hold a candle to Myco and Manning.

Everyone is going to recommend manning and myco. The funny part is that 95% of those people don't own one themselves. Haha.
To re-iterate what others have said there are the two M's and everyone else. Depends on your application and the money you are willing to spend. Can't go wrong with either. If you are in the market for a bolt together I would recommend all American, real extreme, nextrail, rocket, or slide on. Personally I vote for real extreme. Use quality material, 7.5 I beam instead of 6.5, etc. I have had two trailers from the, and I'd use them again.

Some years ago I had bought several aluminum's built by Fastload (312 and 382 among others). Although I like the trailers I've heard a number of stories about poor customer service there now.....don't use them.

I have a tandem under my 303, straight as a arrow even behind the half ton, now I'm not running 75/80 mph either, 60 even 65 downhill no issues, never went faster then that no need I was gaining some momentum for the next hill LOL, if you trailer a 100 miles each way I would say triple, but for me only doing a cpl roadtrips a year, I'll take the maneuverability of a tandem, especially since its a pretty hard jack into my driveway

It comes down to what you want to do with it I tow a lot I'm doing a poker run at the end of this month with a 700 mile R/T tow. I had a Loadright that came with the boat it was always a pain to load, with the Manning I can do it myself boat lines itself up.
