    I have an 18’ bumper pull that I just refloored and painted. 16yrs old, wry good quality.

      I have a tem trail tractor hauler 96” inside trailer and it’s very well built compared to similar style trailers. Welds are good also. I cannot speak for there standard floats etc. it’s my understanding they are more of a custom trailer shop. They don’t build much “ production” trailers.

      What trailers I have seen from Lamar seemed to be good for the money.

        Without going into detail, customer service and quality is terrible. Not to mention they use the cheapest parts they can find. Which a lot of trailer mfgs are guilty of. Because it is a whores market.

          I’ve got an 18 foot Big Tex flatbed. Been very happy with it!

              OP u might also look into Double A trailers. Think they are in SS or Mt pleasant. I’ve seen a few of their trailers and for the price I was impressed.

              I also have a tiger trailer and it was cheap. And it shows but for the price compared to other compatible trailers I couldn’t complain to much.

                    Ranch King is a very nice trailer. A little higher in price, but you will see why.

                      Depends on type, in general I’m not a fan of big Tex for utility bumper pulls, PJ’s bumper pulls decent but are a Mexican imports.

                      Best I’ve seen is maxxd and load trail for utility 7k

                        There’s a PJ dealer in WC.

                        If you are interested in Top Hat, there’s a dealer in Bay City. Also, Shoppas in Bay City sells Ranch King if you want to bounce pricing off of them.

                            Went and looked at the Tem Trail today. Looks very solid, and good welds. 20’ pipe top with 5,200# axles and 10 ply tires is $3200. I’ll look at the ranch king this week, but I’m pretty sold on the Tem Trail.

                              Just something to consider. Cross support spacing and quantity, 20” on. Enter? 16” on center?

                              Channel wrapped tongue. Does the tongue extend to the forward axle? Or end at the front of the trailer?

                              I liked the them when I was looking too. They appear to make a solid trailer.

                                The crossmembers looked even closer than 16”....maybe 14”? Yes, channel wrapped tongue. Twice the vertical supports than the RC, and thicker pipe top.
