I just recently downsized to an F-150 from an F-350 because it better suits my needs.
With the F-350 I had a snowmobile deck and loved it. I still hated the tarping aspect, but it was still convenient.
Now, since I have a half ton, I decided to buy an economical enclosed trailer.
I have a few choices:
I know I don't want anything over 20', just because of storage issues, so a 7' wide would be ok as long as it's not too long.
Will the dinky tires hold up?
I looked in the U.S. on KSL and craigslist, there are some ok deals there, but to drive to utah would be out of the question.
I know that Mirage has a bad rap, so I won't go there.
Tandem axle would be great, but not essential.
It would be nice to have brakes, as I do have a 1/2 ton A steel trailer is something I can live with, as long as it's not too heavy.
Does anyone know of another trailer to look at? I noticed there is a much better choice in Ontario, but to transport might be not worth it.
I appreciate all of your opinions, just remember I have a set price, so don't tell me to spend more and get a Featherlite.
Thanks in advance.

I have a few choices:
- --- Top Quality I am sure, but not 100% functional
- --- Ok quality? more functional, even for cargo purposes *5 year bumper to bumper warranty
- Cargo Pro Hybrid Aluminum Enclosed Trailer $5000---Are they as good as the TC-11
- used steel full sized 2 place, like Continental Cargo.--but am I buying someone elses junk?
- ---good value, but is the quality there ?
