Is a Cargo or Utility Trailer Right For You?

While cargo and utility trailers are both popular models, the two couldn’t be more different. While both trailers are affordable and convenient to use, they tend to prioritize very different towing experiences. As a result, these trailers tend to have opposite user bases with very different needs and preferences. To see which of these handy models is the best fit for you, take a look at our recommendations below. 

Why Buy a Utility Trailer

Utility trailers are incredibly versatile, and can be towed by a wide range of different vehicles. Utility trailers are also well-known for being able to transport a variety of different cargo, from bulky freight to large and unwieldy furniture. Because these models offer a completely open bed, they’re incredibly easy to load and unload, and can be quickly packed to the brim with different items. Some utility trailers can even be used to transport vehicles thanks to their impressive weight capabilities. 

Why Buy a Cargo Trailer

Cargo trailers—sometimes called enclosed trailers—can be a bit pricey when compared to utility models. However, buyers are often willing to pay for the extra investment in order to better protect their cargo. Because of their enclosed beds, sensitive freight is better protected from inclement weather, less likely to be stolen, and unlikely to fall out into the open road and be damaged. Buyers also enjoy being able to use their cargo trailers for other purposes, such as convenient storage spaces, portable workstations, or even vendor stalls.
