I forgot to add... I found a small family run company that builds trailers also - Mckinley Enterprises. Have any of you seen one of their trailers or are familiar with how they are built?thanks again

I just recently sold my diamond d 5 horse trailer, It wasn a class 1 trailer overall but in towing it wasnt a good tow in my opinion, I pulled the trailer about 3,000 miles and it was just NOT a nice pulling trailer, Inside the horse area was nice but the slant load divders was smaller than most trailers,the trailer was very very heavy, I sold it didnt like how it pulled , and my horses was being smashed didnt leave much room for them. JUST MY OPINION, I dont have any ideas about the titans, I would take you time and looking around I got a great deal on a 95 hart 4h with 8ft dressing room that i made into lq very eaily for about $5,000. owner needed to sell bad thats why it was cheap.But it only took me a few days after i sold mine. Also Diamond d drop down windows becareful as mine fell off and about hit me in the head, they are very heavy and they come off really easily. I had bad luck with mine, You can email me if u like if u have questions i owned mine for about 1yr.GOOD LUCK

I've owned a 1997 Titan for 7 years and have been happy with it. I think it's a great pulling trailer and repainted it last month planning on keeping it another 5 - 10 years.

I have owned several Titans and been to the factory in Kansas, I think they are a well made trailer. For the money you want to spend you could get a 2007 Titan Challenger 6'8"x 14' for $6500 up to a 07 Classic II 3h 72" SW for @ $11,000. There is alot of trailers and options available between these price ranges that would fit your needs and budget. If you need a name of the #1 Titan dealer send me a message.

I have an '05 GN 2H slant Titan with 8' shortwall and so far am very pleased with it. My critical spouse is satisfied with the overall construction, welds, paint, etc., also. I asked several people about their Titans before I bought this one and everyone spoke highly of them. I expect to keep it around for many years. Happy trailer hunting.

In 2003 I ordered a Titan 2 Classic and it has been a terrific trailer. 2 horse slant w/ a 5' shortwall, walk through door and other extras I added. If I was going to order another one I would get the Avalanche w/ the sideboards. As is, it's a pain to climb up on the fender to make adjustments through the windows.
The company has sent me replacement rubber door stoppers at no charge. Last March during heavy wind the camper roof vent in the DR blew off- it was closed, I swear. Anyway, one phone to Titan in Waterville and 2 days later I had a new vent to install for only $30.
The trailer is good and the company seems to give a darn about "after sales" service which gets high marks by me.

Thank you Titan owners - that's exactly what I wanted to hear. I spoke to an older gent recently and he was bashing Titans left and right so I wanted to hear more from others.

I have a Titan 3 horse bumper pull and it is the nicest trailer I've seen! Hauls great, we absolutely love it and they stand behind their product.
