Car Haul Trailer, Steel vs Aluminum, Which Would You Choose?

Kevindc said

I've started thinking about picking up a trailer to haul my Dart Sport around on was wondering what peoples opinions are on steel and aluminum trailers. Aluminum trailers look to be 2 - 3 times the price of the steel trailers. Right now I'm driving a 1/2 ton PU if that matters.

It matters!

If you want to haul your mower around a 1/2 ton is fine. Or an occasional 50 mile pull.

You are just going to send the 1/2 ton to an early grave hauling a car. Get a 3/4 or 1 ton to haul it with! I would suggest a diesel. The lighter unit will be better in the long run but with the right truck it does not matter.

I drive a 2015 1 ton 6.7 Dually pulling a 24' enclosed trailer with the Barracuda and cannot imagine trying to pull it with a 1/2 ton truck. It just does not make sense.
