Looking to purchase a new trailer from Quarter Horse Congress. Have narrowed it two three choices, Bison, Sundowner, or Adam. Need to know if anyone would say absolutely do not buy one or more of these brands. thanks

Would not buy any of those. It really depends on what your spending limit is.... in this day and age, if you are going to make this major purchase, it really needs to be the best quality you can find, or, go with a top rated used unit. You should be able to find a great deal right now... lots of people who have to make payments are off-loading them for what they owe. Good luck to you.

daporter, If you abosolutely have to have new and I only have three choices to pick from, I'd pick the Sundowner. However, I'm with CJ. Save yourself big bucks and get a used 4Star, Elite, C&C, etc. You can get a top of the line used trailer and not take a beating on resale. The depreciation on a new trailer is just like a car or truck. You'll take a beating. There are so many "as new" used trailers on the market, especially in the mid west. There are ten year old trailers that look like new. Many people buy these trailers and figure that they'll use them in retirement, but later just end up selling their trailer that was used maybe 4-5 times a year.
