    Well what kind of work are you primarily doing? I'm a Talbert man just because I've seen the abuse they can take, Trail King is definitely a good trailer as well. I've never pulled a Rogers but I know they used to make a good trailer. I would avoid Etnyre at all cost. I currently pull a trailer just like yours, an 06 55 ton SA Talbert and wouldn't hesitate to get another one but honestly if I were buying a new one today I would have to look at an Aspen contractor series 55 ton. @Oxbow has one and the guys I know that pull them swear by them. Give me a little more info and we can brainstorm if you want.

    I'm pretty partial to Fontaine's, we have 4 55 tonners and they have been overloaded and abused / side loaded with 100K and have held up over the years. We also have ran Talbert's and would recommend them also.
