An aluminum trailer has many benefits , the biggest being lighter in weight . This is important when your tow vehicle is less than ideal . Remember when fully loaded you have to be able to accelerate and brake safely . And be able to handle panic stop or evasive manuevers .
I have owned an aluminum car trailer in the past but my current trailer is a 16' steel deck metal frame . Rated at 7000 lbs when you subtract the 2000 lb weight I can safely tow 5k . More than heavy enough for me . My tow vehicle is an extended cab one ton dually diesel so plenty of safety margin .
