    You can get a pretty good trailer for $15k, Most guys have a budget of about half that and usually end up getting a rust bucket.

    I like the Western trailer alot. I'm a company driver so cost is not a factor to me but light weight is great and they really hold up well.

    Great trailers... I wanted to buy one several years ago but they wouldn't build the side rail the way I needed it so i bought a Chaparral.
