Default Utility trailers

Any advice on a good brand of enclosed utility trailer?
Looking for a 5x8 or 5x10.
Thanks.

At that small of a size, I would buy whatever model you can find the cheapest. At the end of the day, pretty much every brand uses the same Dexter spring axles and EZ lube hubs with steel tubular construction on 16" centers and 0.030/0.023 thick aluminum exterior.

Be a different story if you were looking for something like a 8x20 to haul a few thousand pounds everyday.

FYI Factory Outlet Trailers will probably have the best price...

Doesn't look like FOT has any cheaper 5x8, there is one on Kijiji in Lyalta, that is likely worth a look. Other one is at Bar T5 in Millarville. I use one for my decoy trailer, it's a Mirage, been good, no beefs with it, had it since 2013. It's on 15" rubber, has stood up well to being run up and down gravel roads and around on fields. Mine is a split back door, no side door, no special desire for a side door, it isn't that difficult to get stuff out of. If I went to a 10 or 12ft, then I'd want the side door, buddy has a 6x12 or 14, getting stuff out of the front is a bit of work.
