Enclosed cargo trailer recommendation for WA to AK moving trip

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know anything about trailers? I'll be moving to Alaska in about a month, making the drive from WA up through Canada. I am planning to purchase an enclosed cargo trailer to fit the few larger items we don't purge prior to moving (like a bed). I'm currently thinking the 5'x8' size is right for me.

My question: does anyone have any recommended trailer brands, or brands to stay away from? My leading choice so far (based on price) is a 2021 Mirage XPRES - does anyone know anything about that brand and/or model?

If it matters, I'm looking to use this trailer for the express purpose of moving, then reselling it once I get to Alaska. It's also my first time towing anything at all, and my truck's first time towing anything! I also have another thread about truck prep for towing if anyone has advice: Getting truck ready to tow for the first time (2k+ mile trip) | Tacoma World

 

I just moved from WA to ME in Oct 2020 and got myself a 6x10 Mirage enclosed trailer. We had no problems at all. I was planning to sell it when I got here as well, but I liked it so much I ended up keeping it.

 

Awesome to hear, thanks so much for the reply. That Mirage is my top choice right now, it seems nice and very reasonably price since I'm only moving stuff in it!
