I will mostly use for supplies, lumber, etc, but will occasionally need to haul a car. I want a 16ft, 7000lb gvw (about 5200lb load), dual axle, dual brake. I have narrowed it down to: Diamond C, C&B, and PJ. They're similar, with significant differences. The PJ has the weakest looking crossmembers (2.5 X 2.5 X 3/16 angle iron, vs sturdier channels or box beams for the others. Frames are either 5" or 4" channel (I think either one would do). I can't decide, except I don't like the PJ crossmembers (too much chance for the vertical side to bend under load. Total cost, with spare, will be between $3800 and $4700, due to cost of shipping to AK. Any advice appreciated.
