[QUOTE="DHR Darren, post: 1568292, member: 20776"] I know a lot of guys say that aluminum will fatigue and wear out and crack but realistically that will be in about 15 years down the road if it gets everyday use. All the old log trucks and dump trucks had aluminum frame rails in them. Many of them are still running today. Look at the flatbed trailers hauled up and down the highway now days, 95% of those are aluminum also and they are hauling about 80,000 pounds of cargo on them. I know that aluminum trailers of years ago were not the latest and greatest like they are today but also look at the Leaps and Bounds EFI has made (analogy). Technology and modern design has done wonders and my next trailer is going to be an aluminum one and that isn't for hauling the race car, that is for doing everything for our personal use & the Logging Company.
