I went with Haulmark Autotransport 24' steel. I love the trailer, but will say there are a few quality issues. Haulmark isn't even made by Haulmark if you can believe that. The name of the company who built it is on the ramp. The bones and basics are great, but trim details are poor. For instance, the tire storage hole in the floor has mitered aluminum trim that doesn't fit well. Around the doors inside is the same. Not a big deal, but when you're paying for it... Aluminum would be nice for weight, but my Expeditions tow mine loaded well. I included a scale ticket so you could see what it looks like with weight in it behind my 07 Expy. Now, my 17 Expy tows it even better.
Yes, I know my 69 is in backwards and that's a huge no no, but I had a motorcycle up front.
A couple of things that were must haves for me:
1. Oversized get out door. I would love to have one where the side opens fully. My door is a little high. It does help getting out.
2. Lowered rear end. Called dove tail.
3. Electric trailer jack. Sooo much nicer than the crank. The factory one was cheap.
4. In floor/inside spare tire storage.
5. Trailer Aid drive on ramp to change tire easily without having to jack up the trailer.
6. Weight Distribution and anti sway hitch.
7. MaxAir II vent so you can leave the roof vent open all the time.
8. E-track everywhere...
9. 5,200 lb axles a must.
10. Lowered and wider side entrance door.
11. Winch.

If you notice in one of my pics there is a 1"x6" board back by the ramp door hinge point. I plan on adding an aluminum piece that automatically flaps down when the door is opened.
