I would look into a set of fork pockets, a tool box, a reciever tube up on the front for a future winch.
I'm good on the tool box and winch point. Fork pockets are an interesting idea, but that is something I could easily add myself.

I placed the order today. Price as ordered was $4152. They did correct me on one thing, while the 20' 18+2 trailers are 6" channel frame, the 22' 20+2 I ordered is 8" channel. Build and deliver ETA is 3 weeks.

Never played and I don't drink except water and caffeine. I'm all for grilling up some steaks and burgers over some applewood and playing on tractors though. :)

Checked there. They would have had to order a 22' as well and it wasn't going to be fast. I'm pretty sure they're the ones that told me July. Prices were good on in stock stuff, but ordering something seemed rather spendy.

tie down spots. some trailers are well rather pathetic, for spots to toss chain hooks, to strap hooks on.

would go with stake pockets. cheap 2x4 pockets for some sides, and more so spots to toss a chain hook into.

spare tire placement can be an issue for some folks. either on the tongue laying down, or on the side of the tongue, or perhaps under trailer, or some were on the back end.

on the rear end, were ramps connect/go. easy to use jack on each side. to help stabilize rear end, when driving up / unloading, and not having rear end of truck lift off the ground.

tail light location. can be another issue. are they located directly on bottom side on rear end? or do they set off on the side and little higher so you are not tearing them off on the ground.

wiring is it in a pipe underneath or inside the framework? or just zip tied here and there all the way to the back? is a ground wire included all the way to the back? is ground wire also sent towards each axle?

are the ramps hidden underneath? or fold up on the back? is there enough give and take to let the ramps set slightly at an angle (left / right), are ramps easy enough to remove and toss in garage, for when not needing.

Very similar price to what I ordered. Main difference between theirs and what I ordered is the channel frame, theirs is 6" channel with doubler, what I got is 8" channel. I liked being able to see many examples of the work on the lot. I've seen two or three kaufmans in my life, but never looked at one with a "buyer's eye".

Stake pockets were standard, I added full length rub rails. Places to tie aren't an issue.

I already have a stake pocket mounted spare tire holder, so the spare is all I need.

The ramps are 5' spring assisted lift up type ramps. They do raise, lower, adjust, and remove pretty easy. They do have adjustable supports on the legs.

Their units have very little exposed wiring, most runs in conduit. What is exposed is in split loom.

Lights are all LED and are above the frame. Any dragging of the trailer shouldn't hurt them any.
