I have been really happy with my 24' ATC. Light, nice fit & finish, tows great. Tows even better now that I put 16" wheels on it with 10 ply tires that use 80 psi. Made more difference than I expected.

Certainly anybody with a T& E will tell you that they are the finest....Just check one out at the track.....the resale is great....and it will last.....Fletchers is a T&E...with a zillion miles on it...T&E will also repair trailers of all makes.....and you guys will all love the customer service and quality...buy one and be sure....instead of hoping....

Thanks everyone for the input. I would not have thought to order the 16" wheels / tires as an option, but plan on it now no matter what brand trailer I end up with.
Has anyone had any experience with the Team Spirit trailers or the Bruce Litton (united) Trailers? I saw a few of these at the track last time and the fit and finish looked good, but I am not sure if they are built sound or not.
Thanks,
Chad

You should check out the thread about trailer tires ! Some guys run even bigger tires like 17.5 inch
It'd be worth the safety factor to me......

The other guys covered all the important stuff. The most important being weight and pruchasing the largest heavy dutiest tire,wheel and axle available. Do yourself a favor and see if someone will let you pull a trailer of the desired size with your rig. Then go home and sleep on it for a while before you decide on what you buy.

Buy the biggest axles and tires. You won't go wrong.

There is one issue you also want to think about on the biggest axles.
Do get the heaviest tires available, you won't be sorry there.
It is little known law about the total GVW on the rig you drive.
If the total GVW (Truck and Trailer GVW added together) exceeds 26,001 you need a class A or B license or a CDL if it is a commercial operation.
The GVW of the trailer is usually set by adding the total carrying capacity of each axle or is sometimes reduced by the trailer manufacturer if the frame is not rated to match the axle capacity.
I know this is a law not enforced very often but it is there.
A 1 ton dually and a fairly small trailer will have the GVW over the limit.
I went ahead and did get my class B last week after being in violation for the past 8 years and not knowing.
Just something to think about.
My 2 Cents
