    Best trailer for my dollar...??

    I'm getting tired of loading my 4 wheeler in the bed of my truck because I lose all cargo space when I head to the ranch so I want to find a trailer but I can't break the bank. I wouldnt be hauling much more than a cooler or two and the 4 wheeler on the trailer so I'm not looking for a 16' or anything. Whatch got GS??

    I have a Texas Bragg tilt trailer. Love it. First was stolen and specifically bought another one. No ramps to carry. It is a little loud when not loaded as it shakes but worth it.

      may even look at one of those racks that go in your receiver hitch to throw a few coolers etc on. cheaper and wont lose more mpg's by having to pull a trailer. just an idea i thought id throw out there. I just hate pulling small single axle trailers

        Make sure to get a custom oversized one if you do this. I made the mistake of buying the cheap harbor freight one, and it hardly fits suit cases.

            There are lots of good choices. I like Ranch King, really well built and good paint too. There are cheaper trailers but I think the couple hundred is worth it.

              Buy mine. You can haul a fleet of ATV's, all of your buddies and your lease truck.
              Plus with a trailer like this you will make all kinds of new friends wanting to use if. $4500 title in hand!

                I got a 6.5 X 14 with drop down gate I would consider selling. It's about 11 years old. Tandem axle.

                    They almost got my money. Had they not been an hour away prolly would have. 2 weeks to build what you want 83x14 single axle, treated floor, side load access and 4 foot bifold gate was 1695.00

                    Ended up ordering from texas trailer supply and will pick it up tomorrow.

                    Same thing at Ranch king was 3-4 weeks and 2295. Big Texas was in stock and also right at 2k

                      There's a place in Spring on kuykendahl that sells trailers nothing fancy but can't beat their prices. I bought a 6x10 to haul my ranger

                          Trout trailer doesn't make their own trailers.

                          They use Tiger trailer and Tem Trail for their heavier duty trailers.

                            Found it... Texas Trailer Supply - 512-278-9134

                            Looks like they have a 5x10 for $650 and a 4x8 for $595 right now

                            Also, have you looked at the bed covers where you can load your ATV on top of your bed, leaving the bottom open for ice chests and gear? This is what I've been looking at lately http://www.diamondbackcovers.com

                              I shopped around and shopped around. I bought a Ranch King 20' trailer and had some issues with finish and things outside ranch kings control. It was just banged up but I got a really good deal on it.

                              I took it back and got a refund. I settled on a PJ trailer after that. I went to Nationwide trailer and saw a LoneStar trailer that has awesome fit and finish. It had all the specs of the higher end trailers with very little differences.

                              One being the welding from the wrap tongue to the frame. It's fully welded. Most other companies do stitch welding only.

                              I ended up ordering one... it's fully painted before the deck is installed. Tiger and Tem Trail are sprayed after the flooring is installed...really not sure why but they aren't coated under the boards. That bothered me a little.

                              For the same price as a ranch king I got 7000 lb axles and brakes on both axles with lonestar. I'm happy. I pick it up this weekend, hopefully the fit and finish is just as good as the one I saw in their yard.
