New Utility Trailer

[Bowtie2Sierra]

We are building a new house in the next year so I wanted a trailer that would offer protection from the weather. Originally I was after an enclosed cargo trailer but ditched that since I couldn't find one that I liked that would fit in the garage of our current house (trailer is too tall). I've decided that a regular utility trailer will do the job just fine. I currently have a 5'x8' utility trailer but I need something a tad longer.

I'm now on the hunt for either a 6'x10' or 6x12' single axle utility trailer. I've narrowed by choices down to Big Tex or PJ trailers. Does anyone have any experience with either? I've read good reviews about both. I'm currently leaning towards a 6'x12' PJ trailer. Is there any reason I should consider a 6'x10' instead?

I see those BigTex trailers all over down here being used by contractors. That's all I know about them... but contractors usually know what holds up.

 

[Bowtie2Sierra]

Yep...same here. Big Tex and PJ are both popular around here with the contractors and farmers. I thought the same as you about those guys knowing what's best.

Plus I like the name Big Tex.

The PJ trailers look nicer to me though.

Very cool. I have heard good things about Big Tex trailers.

Nova- What kind of trailers do you haul your race cars on? Are they open air car haulers or enclosed?

Well built trailers don't put a lot of stock in appearance. Both look strong.

I've got a Big Tex 50LA flatbed, and it has been a good trailer. The only issue I have had with it is the lights, I need to convert to LED's since it gets bounced around so much I can't keep bulbs in it.

 

[Bowtie2Sierra]

Yeah I'm leaning towards getting LED lighting since I plan to keep it quite a while.

It is well worth it!
