My family and i have two fairly new equipment trailers from Kaufman. They are ok for price I guess but both jerk and bump the truck alot compared to others I used. Both are rated about 14k gross weight. One is a 16ft and the other is 18ft. So I let a friend use the 16ft and my dad had 18ft while at the same time I needed one too. So I rented a heavy duty Towmaster trailer that was 16ft and was at 14k gross weight rating. Just as in past It was night and day difference and is much older and beat up. Pulls very smooth with hardly any jerking / bumping. Same exact load to same destination. So are Kaufmans just not that good? It was cheaper so guess you get what you pay for. This leads me to my next question. Who are the top equipment trailer manufactures for flat equipment trailers with ramps. 16-20ft with 14-15k gross weight rating?
