Aluminum trailers: best place to buy?

Mike Gerald
Go bigger, you can't put much on an 8" trailer.

Good thoughts, thank you.

The Aluminum utility trailers Ive been around crack alot at the welds. Id say be gentle with it if you are on rough roads. Just thought id mention this from personal experience.

Why are you set on aluminum? Also don’t buy a trailer from Lowes, HD, TSC, etc. get one from a place that sells trailers. Add a swing away wheeled jack, eye bolts or loops on the rails, gate assist, spare tire and holder, and possibly a small tool box on the tongue.

There is a place on Hwy 61 in Woodville that has several aluminum trailers for sale.

If you’re just looking for a better quality trailer than Lowe’s, though, just get a name brand from a trailer store. Diamond C, PJ, Big Tex, etc.

Yes, you're right, I was just looking there to see what the had.

I'm no welder, but I know what good worlds look like, and those were terrible.

Would prefer aluminum just for lighter weimght and no rust issues if it has to live outside.

May have to give up ($$$$) that dream.

I have a plethora of trailers that all stay outside. The rust is only aesthetic. It’s just a trailer. I have replaced boards on a couple of them every 7-10 years. Easy half day task. I spray them all once a year with used oil/diesel combo.

Yes. Should be an easy sell especially if tires are good, lights work, it has a title.

Thanks.

Aluminum makes for a shitty trailer. Just get a steel one. If you aren't dunking it in saltwater a regular painted steel trailer will outlive you.
