    I don't know what brand it is. It is an 8" drop they had at the trailer retailer. It put the ball right at 18" high....

    hehe... yeah, that'll work...

    this one's a "hammerblow" hitch... usually called a bulldog I believe as Bulldog is a very reputable manufacturer for trailer parts.

    That's a nice looking trailer. What's it rated at? And how much?

    They are both rated at 7,000#, but can be had with the heavier axles. As in pics, the fancy one, the "Challenger" is currently $3100 for the 20' model, $3000 for the 18'. The "standard one is currently $2700 for the 20' , $2600 for the 18'. TIA!!

    I could do without the extra diamond plate on the front and back of the fenders on the Challenger for a better jack. The plated rails and step sides look sweet though. A bit overkill if you use the trailer for anything other than hauling cars though. sigh. maybe I'm just jealous.

    the second one looks identical to mine (after most of my add-ons/upgrades) with the exception of steel deck. It wouldn't be worth an extra $1100 to me though... both of em are definitely eye-catchers.

    That is a nice trailer. Maybe for my next one. I just needed something to haul the K5 around for a few years then maybe upgrade when my plans get bigger.

    It towed really nice last week and I could barely tell it was there with the trailer brakes:)

    Looking for 20' / 10k lb, good trailer. Does not need to be show quality. I would rather spend the $$ on upgrading brakes and such over bling. Do you have anything like that?

    Deck over would be nice if the price is ok.

    Thanks!

    crowne, where are you located? Yes, I can get a 16' Challenger with the 5200# axles, 4 brakes, HD drop leg jack, we were not powdercoating last time I checked , but we can clear coat the finish for a bit more protection. Let me know! 2 Dogs, are you still looking?

    I'm in Canada, but I'll drive in, the states to pick it up.
    I also need it with a 2FT dovetail, and fold-down ramps.
