My trailer is an 18' Down To Earth Trailer. 16' w 2' dove tail. It has 4" drop axles to load a car that is low. It also has a removeable driver side fender so you can open the doors to get in and out. They used to be $2500 back when I was looking for mine. I just happened to find 1 that was less than a year old for $2000. Mine came from a place across the SC line in GA. I like mine a lot, it does bottom out a good bit but if you ever have to push a car on it, it is the bomb. Just trying to help.

Bubba's is too high & also not a very good quality trailer. We have two of them @ work and they have not held up too well. Warpage and frame stress. Whoever buils them for Bubba's, is building an economy trailer. Just look at where the U-channel stops from the tounge assy. High quality builders take the channel all the way to just in front of the axles. This makes a big difference in the durability and driveability in the trailer. I have been around car trailers, utility trailers, and boat trailers all my life. Look for the high quality stuff period. You might pay for it, but it's worth it in the long run.

exaclty, esp if you are gonna pull it with a 1500/half ton truck

a cheap trailer makes "the tail wag the dog" and is fatiguing to drive.

i put radial trailer tires on my trailer, and it is awesome, about $25 each more than cheap bias ply tires, but it's nice not to have to fight it.
