Picking a trailer#

My current truck is a small V8, only tows 7000 lbs. So unless I want to trade up to a $55K truck (or used variation thereof), 7k is my limit including 2 motorcycles.

30K new 7x20 all-aluminum trailer (no wood, no steel):

17K used 8.5x16 Jayco Octane Super Lite 161 (better wood)

11K 2016 Forest River RV Cherokee 17RP wood, steel trailer, but the under-bed construction terrifies my fat ass.

12K 7 year old ($30K?) 2008 Cargo Mate 8X22 sells for 11?
