My current tow vehicle is a Ford F-350 King Ranch, diesel and the black trailer is an H & H tilt bed, 10,000 gvw, 20' long.

How do you like the tilt bed? I was thinking of selling my 20 ft PJ trailer and going that route next time.

I don't think it's a tilt.

Pretty sure it is a tilt. In the first picture it is tilting and he states it's a tilt bed trailer in his post.

Yes GeneD has a tilt bed trailer shown in his first pic. I also have an H&H tilt bed trailer. Mine's a 20' x 8' with 83" between the removable fenders. I really like mine, no ramps to worry about. I've used it 2 winters so far and never slid once trying to load anything. They may cost a little more but I think its worth it especially if you get the electric / hydraulic tilt option. I converted mine from manual hyd. tilt to elec./hyd. tilt and added a winch. The winch has dragged quite a few dead cars and trucks up on it. It takes 7 seconds to tilt, then drive on, and 7 seconds to return to level. Takes about 10 min. to bind the load and I'm off. Mine has a wood deck. I didn't want a metal deck because of ice and snow where I live. I'd recommend a tilt bed to anyone.

Totally missed that part.
The end of his trailer 'looks' blunt.

Gene, how do you like the tilt bed? I really like the idea of no ramps,but a few trailer dealers told me " if your putting implements on the trailer before the tractor the tilt with be a PITA. The model I'm interested in has hydralic tilt so I don't need to worry about the weight of the attachments affecting the tilting action. Any thoughts?

I'm having a tough time getting my pics sized right but here's the trailer.

My new dump trailer looks just like your trailer right down to the location of the stickers in front, at least in a front view. Mine was built in northern Texas (bought in southern Oklahoma) and looks the same so redundant to post essentially the same pcture. HEre is a shot of it raised.

Here is a shot of newest tow vehicle. It is F-250 Super Duty diesel crew cab short bed 4x4. Don't pay any attention to the man behind the door, he is just included to show the size of the truck. Do note the front lisc plate.

Well here is mine. Just towed it 600miles Saturday. Average speed for the trip 60MPH, was running 75 and 80 MPH on most of I-10. Tombstone to Prescott and back. Tucson is a mess and Phoenix is just Phoenix.
