I hate to say this, but I will, aluminum trailers are ok if you only plan on using it for a short time, and you don't waul anything heavy, I used to work at a company that built aluminum trailers, and if you make a trailer out of steel whatever thickness of steel you use to build it, aluminum needs to be twice as thick minimum best would be three times the thickness, aluminum gets stress cracks, and once it cracks the trailer is pretty much done because it will crack more and more, I built a trailer 40 years ago and it's still as good as it was when I built it, an aluminum trailer I would be lucky to get 10 years out of it, so in my opinion if I was going to buy a trailer to keep and use over a long amount of time, get a steel trailer, if you are going to use one for a year or two an aluminum trailer may work for you

This is TFL. They flip things, borrow things, review things, get loaners, rent, lease.. etc. They don't do long term ownership. If this thing cracks, breaks, bends, rusts, twists, folds, warps or collapses, that is good for their channel. As it is content that viewers appreciate to see so they don't follow that purchase. Otherwise, these things don't often get a lot of attention.

My friends have an aluminum car hauler, which is about 20 years old as well. It's held up very well, aside from some light dulling or surface corrosion. One side of the removable fender mount/bracket and the ramp door hinges had issues, but some relatively quick work/welding got them back to functioning perfectly (better than before). As with everything, quality work is important as is using the trailer for what it was designed to do.

The modulus of aluminum like you said is 3 times that of steel so yeah if you build a trailer out of 1/8" steel tubing then you need to make it out of 3/8" aluminum. In the end the weight savings isn't really there all that much but rather the no rusting is the real advantage. As a welder I have to say the low quality of welds I saw as they went around the trailer was what caught my attention but I guess they will hold for what it's intended. It's probably just me but I'd feel bad selling a trailer with welds like that if I was the manufacturer but that's my own opinion.

I have an Aluma utility trailer and I love it. Can move it around by hand or golf cart, but can still hold over a ton. If I had more land to store a larger trailer, I would love one of their larger options.

I'd like to see the wiring under the trailer. Is there an aluminum channel for the wiring or is it just zip tied to the frame. Sometimes builders cut corners on things you can't see. Then, what about tie-down track options? Four 5K tie-down points is just a start.

I have a triton trailer I like the warranty on it but the quality of welds on an aluminum trailer tend to crack even if you don’t tow close to capacity. Only good to keep them for 3-4 years and trade them in. I’m going back to steel there more forgiving if you do tow close to capacity. Aluminum trailers are for people who don’t plan on traveling lots for a short period of time

Those ramps are too short, and creates a very steep angle that's going to make loading a "lower sitting" car a big issue. I ran into this issue years ago on a similar trailer and couldn't load the car with out destroying the front bumper. I ended up having to get some 2x10" boards and setting them half way up the ramps to lessen the approach angle.

@@rerod650- they are a bit more for sure. If you use them in the winter though the price becomes irrelevant. Steel trailers these days try hard to be close to the aluminum trailers to be competitive. That means thinner steel that rusts through shockingly fast. If you are going to be using a trailer a lot, especially in bad weather, on gravel roads etc, these will pay for themselves with the first trailer you buy. They easily outlast the first two t steel trailers you will go through. I know, I have had multiple trailers at any one time between the ranch, tire shop and personal uses. I bit the bullet on an aluminum trailer a long time ago, 20+ years. I still have that trailer. It was supposed to be an open car hauler for classic trucks. It became a hay trailer, farm equipment trailer. Had too much exposure to manure in the 25,000 head feedlot doing the bedding so i relegated it to a work trailer. It’s beat up now, but no cracks. It sags a bit from carrying stuff too heavy for the rating,,,😂😂😂. These heavy loads were on the farmland, maybe 5 miles of gravel moving stuff field to field. If you’re going to use it a lot & for a long time. Assuming you buy the right size & style the first time, you won’t need to replace it. Not in your lifetime.

How about you now stop blocking the road and the parking lot and damaging my yard and taking up two lanes before and after each turn or get a trailer a more normal width if you don’t actually need the extra?

@nunyabidness3075 It is the length, not the width of the trailer that determines if you need to swing wide on a turn. If people are parking on your lawn, which I think is bullshit, it isn't because they are piling a trailer.

@nunyabidness3075 So the problem is someone who does not know how to back up a trailer, not the trailer itself. Also, if the lawn is soft enough to have a "trench" from putting a tire on it, then they would not be landscaping until it dried some. I have enough experience to recognise bullshit from some leftard wanting to control what other people drive. I am not sure what bei g 8n the military would have to do with knowing the width of your street or the condition of your lawn. Maybe your nurse should up your meds. You are babbling.
