Another trailer I personally would consider if I was shopping highwalls is a HW296.
The weight is only 180 lbs more for a 16' box according to FR website. The weight will not be a concern for either the Toyota or Nissan but the thing I personally like is the dual axle vs the single axle.
Far more stability with the dual axle.
Not saying I agree with Forest rivers numbers though but maybe something to checkout. Hard to believe the dry weight is only 176lbs difference for a trailer 2 feet longer and with an extra axle,tires,rims and brakes.
Price likely is greatly different between the 2 as well but maybe something to consider.
Good luck
