Light 5vrs

What are the Risks of buying newer 5vr that is in the Lite Class versus an older 5vr that weighs more?
Am I paranoid? I am thinking that an older 5vr that may weigh 1/3 more is a better bet than a brand new one that is in the lite class?
What think ye?
  • First of all there is Light weight and there is Light duty. You need to look and see how the company makes the trailer light. Do they do it by using better lightweight materials or skimp and use junk stuff.

    When we were looking at light 5ers we were really impressed with the way Open Range built the "LIGHT" line. They use some very innovative methods to save weight. Might be worth giving them a look
