Picking the right trailer depends on your necessities and priorities. Two of the most popular models—the enclosed cargo and utility trailer—are suitable for recreational and professional purposes, but each has pros and cons. Learn more about them to decide which is right for you.

Enclosed Cargo Trailers

This model will protect your belongings. It not only shelters items from sudden weather conditions but also during long drives when your cargo may be exposed to the sun’s harsh rays.

Enclosed trailers also make it easier to secure your belongings for an extended period, which is especially important if you park at a worksite or at home and leave the cargo unsupervised.

Keep in mind that an enclosed trailer can be an issue when driving through tunnels with clearance restrictions. Your rear view might also be affected if the trailer is too high.

Utility Trailers

Unlike taller, bulkier enclosed trailers, utility models are lightweight and easier to maneuver while you’re on the road. Their short stature also makes it easier to view behind you and drive through lower ceiling clearances.

If you work in an outdoor-based industry or enjoy outdoor sports, the trailer’s openness provides easy access to essential equipment and machinery.

However, the open model isn’t suitable for fragile, valuable items that need protection from the elements and possible intruders, especially if you’re leaving it at a worksite overnight.
