    I have to say that is a darn nice looking trailer. I like it a lot... and I think it would outlast me!
    That being said... I'm pretty cheap. Yes, the F6B cost a lot used, but I had a cheap HF 4x8 trailer that I abused mightily for 18 years, only having to replace the tires a couple times.
    Amortized out, it cost me about $30/yr including the plywood and rails. And yes, I put a lot of miles on it, overloaded it sinfully and loaned it out to those who didn't care for it.
    If I had to get a bike trailer now I'd get the same one or the 1800lb capacity one, build another ramp, use a couple boards for the guide and a good front wheel chock.
    Yes, yes I know... the china stuff argument. In time that will be a distant memory, like the bad connotation Made in Japan used to have.
    Factories build whatever build quality people want.

    I agree with your last statement above but would add "....and are willing to pay for".
