Default Best for money utility trailer

Looking to purchase a 4x6 or 4x8 utility trailer. Need a knowledgeable advice: steel vs aluminum and brand to focus on.

Thanks

Aluminum by far, no worries about rusting and very light and easy to push around if need be.

Factory outlet trailers in Okotoks seems to be one of the better price wise. Bought a couple there and have been treated OK

FOT trailer would actually be closer to high river, on the 2A. Check them and then head to High River and price compare at 4C's

Default Used

Get a used Aluma or something like that on Kijiji.

I just had my car carrier one delivered today from near Detroit. Cheap to deliver. Cheap to buy. When you resell you will not loose money.

Buying a new one made in US is too much due to exchange rate.

There are some made in Manitoba but they use wood floors.

I had a alum a 4x8 I bought used from a guy who hauled his golf cart behind a motor home. Used it for three years and sold it for same price.
