[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 552442, member: 1726"] Ok folks here is some info. Sooner, Exiss, and Featherlite trailers all come from Universal Trailer. If you get under them and look at the construction of the frames they are identical. They told me all the frames are made at the Universal trailer factory. [url]http://www.universaltrailer.com/[/url] During my investigation I was told they just skin them differently but all the stock and horse trailers are on the same frame now with Featherlite only starting in 2006. I can't say they are any better or worse than any other trailer. They seem to be pretty popular. I have an Exiss combo/stock trailer and I love it. Like all aluminum trailers they will rattle a bit but I placed some rubber bumpers in places and it helped a lot. I have heard folks say the Exiss has a lot of problems but when I ask what kind they can't really tell me. Go figure. I have a friend with a Eby and it is basically the same trailer as mine. I was looking for an Eby when I found this Exiss and liked it so I stopped shopping and bought it. Look at the I-beam spacing under the trailer. In my opinion, any good aluminum trailer will have at least 3 inch I-beams spaced at 10 inches. From their web site: [b]Formed in 2001, Universal acquired Exiss Aluminum Trailers, Inc. of El Reno, Okla., making Exiss our first brand. In 2002, Haulmark, headquartered in Bristol, Ind., joined the family of brands.
