I am currently using this trailer and pull with a '99 Ford Econovan V8. It is light weight and pulls great. It is all aluminum and not aluminum over steel. The former owner had it converted for hunting. The dog boxes were removed but they can easily be replaced. I use the dog doors for easy access to the tack room. I also have an over the fence saddle rack that fits perfectly on the doors. The hay and water are great for trail rides and even horse shows.
The electric brakes were installed 5 months ago. I had to replace the axels in order to make the change from hydrolic brakes to electric. I also replaced the tongue as the original was very difficult to use. The jack was also replaced at this same time. The tires were replaced about 8 months ago. This trailer is ready to go!
