I have a 28 ft Cargo Mate, good value and havnt had any problems with it. I used to sell Vintage trailers and I had one. They used to have some problems but I think that they have them straightened out now. They are a good trailer Once you get into a certain price range it is just a matter of what you want. There are good and bad with all of them.

I have an '06 28' Raptor by American Hauler. If you have a dragster, order a flat floor and roll the axles back, I know this from experience! Extra height will also get you a longer door which helps too. Good luck! 8) JB Forgot: wish I had ordered 30 or 32' instead....

Thanks, I have a door car (1972 nova) If you had to do it all over again would still went with a RAPTOR? I can get a haulmark for about $800 cheaper but it don't have near the options as the raptor! I know the guy that owns the trl company here in columbus ohio where I'm buying the trl and he gave a big $$$ break on this trl..$9,600 plus tax which put it at $10,100 out the door.The haulmark out the door is $9,300 but don't have cabinets,110,runners and a bunch of other little things I would have to put in it.

What do you mean by rolling the axles back?How does a flat floor give you extra height? Excuse my ignorance just curious.

The way I understand it it gives you less wheelwell which allows you to open the car door so you won't have to climb thru the window. I don't think he means floor to roof height. Just height for getting in and out of the car.

Also check out feather lite theyre great trailers and tow really well alittle bit more than other brands but with the lighter trailer you can pack alot more into it :D :D Good luck with your selection
