| I got two Featherlites a 93' 7x18 and a 07' 7x24. I like them both. The older one has been beaten off road, on road you name it! The only welding has been on the back end gate. the problems I had with the 93' was solved in the 07' with putting the western package on it. I also put dual cam locks on the rear door so their is no hinges, and it will open either right hand or left hand. I bet if you bid any of the trailers, spec. by spec., I'm betting the prices should be a lot closer to each other.
If I ever buy another trailer I will look at all brands, just for the fact Featherlite, dumped my dealer (he was a one of their top dealers for over 25 years). I will not support jerks like that again! There is a lot of good trailers out there. I even like the Titan steel trailers. But for what I do, aluminum works the best. I pull one at least 1-2 days a week most of the time. the only down fall of punch side trailers is if you need to rope a cow and drag her in a trailer, the rope will cut the punchsides.
The one thing I would do is make them bid 14 ply tires, Michelin XPS and 7,000 lb. axles on anything up to 24' long Those Michelin tires are the only ones I can get to hold up in the lava rock, two track roads, and hiway miles. I don't like the roll up doors, because they wear out faster( rollers&track).
