Need Trailer recommendations

I'm planning to buy a full-deck car hauler in the next two weeks. I have a 2003 F150 Supercab Sport 4x4 with the 5.4L, auto, 17" wheels, 3.55 rear axle, and factory tow package. I plan to haul one of 4 vintage Mustangs and Cougars that I own, so the weight target should be in the 5,000 - 5500 lb. range.

The question is, what's the best trailer? I'm considering the following brands, but don't know if I've missed any I should be looking at. All are 18' long with a full deck, since the cars are (or soon will be) show cars.

Bri-Mar, Big Tex, Econo-trailer, and USCargoPro are the brands I've looked at thus far. My price range is $2500, approx.

Anyone with experience in car trailers, your opinions are both desired and appreciated, since this will be my first trailer purchase.

Sorry, no help on the trailers but you need to get some pictures of these rides up!!!

I've got a '91 Mustang race car (check out my gallery) and my buddy has a '24 enclosed trailer that I borrow when I need to. So far, I've only used it once but getting ready to use it again in a few weeks. Last time I used it, it pulled great. I'll find out the brand and everything and let you know.

There is also a link embedded in the Mustang page to the '69 Mach 1 I sold about 2 years ago. Enjoy!
