1st Enclosed Trailer Advice

JCChildress · 08-28-2025, 10:21 PM

I'm way over my head financially, going stocker racing. My dad is getting up in age and I really need to get me an enclosed trailer so it's more enjoyable for him and my wife as well. I don't have a diesel truck. I have 2500 Ram with 6.4. I'm thinking a 24 ft with 5200lb axles. I'm not concerned about all the fancy interiors and bells and whistles. I can always add things inside as I go along. My question is, are there brands to absolutely stay away from ? I called a local place today and his 24ft trailers were around $10,000. !! I told him I had seen many for less than $7000. and his reply was " those are the disposable ones built in Georgia ". Should I just be looking at used ones ? I just don't want to but someone else's problem. Any advice is appreciated.
