I am in the market for a cargo trailer. I am thinking that a 16 footer would be just about perfect. I could make do with a 12 footer but I don’t want to do a single axle mostly because I think resale value on a double axle would be higher. Also I don’t like the idea of having something loaded up and going anywhere with it with just one action on it because of the tastrophe they do happen if you blow up the tires. I have been looking at new and I have been looking at used I’m cheap so I’d like to get a used one but I can’t seem to find too many that are decently priced. I came across an 18 footer for $4000 it was a 2006. I can’t see spending $4000 on a 13-year-old trailer. I know it doesn’t have a motor to wear down but it does have axles and they do seem to take a beating. I called the local big Tex trailers World and they have one16 footer 4695 new that’s about the best price I’ve seen I know there’s taxes taxes so I’d probably be $5000.I plan to use it for tool storage during my home build and I imagine I will probably sell it when I am done. I am interested in hearing everyone’s thoughts.
