    Anyone want to chime in? I've got one 17.5 dorsey and am buying a 22.5 dorsey combo giant. My dad is going with an aluminum giant. My first trailer only has about 40k on it so far, but I think its a decent trailer so far, for the money. And the dealership experience has been decent. We've looked at so many brands and im just not seeing anything really stand out on any of them.

    I am guessing he is referring to rim size and therefore deck height of a stepdeck (Giant)

    Yes. Basically I'm going to have 2 dorsey stepdecks. Don't see a ton of posts on em. Could be a good or bad thing. Lol.
