An aluminum trailer IS lite. You can just about sell them years later for close to what they cost new. Weight? The example above shows a steel trailer weighing 1350lbs, same trailer in aluminum is a lot less weight....One of my racing friends has a 24ft enclosed aluminum trailer, everything aluminum except axels, no lining and on the truck stop scales it weighed just a little over 1700lbs empty. But it cost $12000+, right pricey. But all aluminum trailers are pricey....Yes on the brakes even though in some states, SC and Tenn come to mind you don't even need a license plate, you think they are going to check your brakes???? I use a trailer.
