For all those "newby's" purchasing their first trailer -
can anyone give examples of what types of vehicles are best matched with what type of trailer design? Are they any good books on the subject? Please don't advise to talk to a trailer dealer - some of them seem more interested in selling the trailer that creating an appropriate vehicle/trailer match.

If you are unsure about what vehicle will work with what trailer go with the bigger vehicle not what the salesperson says.Also go to horse events and see what type vehicles are pulling what type trailers.

What a great post!! Clear and conscise, it's all there. No having to go to many different resources and put all the info together. Having bought truck first and trailer later (don't do that, big mistake!) I've ended up with less truck than I need. Wish I had this info before hand.
