i have a 7X20 Hillsbro Trailer, I bought it new in 1996 paid $6500 for it I am fairly well satisfied with it, About the only trouble I had was with the brakes. I believe I replaced a wheel bearing once, but it was still in warranty then. while I have always kept it outside it is not rusted out but maybe I don't use it like most people do. It's style is nothing special, I don't think they use very good paint, all in all it is about as stylish as a man hole cover. I don't like the fenders, they can bend and rub on the ties. It seems to me that there are only two or three basic designs for stock trailers, just a matter of the design you like. Some are more stylish then others. Most use about the same axles, so there is not to much of an issue there. If I was buying another trailer I would pay as much attention to the gates, and gate latches as anything. I really can't see where there should be much difference in the way a trailer pulls except for the weight of the material they are built with.
