Make sure to also get the torque tube, or engineered beam option. Otherwise Gator is pretty much on par with BigTex, PJ, Iron Bull. Good basic trailers, just know there will be some faults like the paint quality. There is higher quality units like Midsota and Diamond C but you do pay. Honestly one of the best values in trailers for some hot shots is the Kaufman trailers.
