The Featherlite 8107 is a best-in-class open stock trailer thanks to its all-aluminum construction that delivers a lightweight, corrosion-resistant platform ideal for frequent highway use and long-term resale value. Its lower curb weight yields better fuel economy and easier towing compared with heavier steel trailers like the Titan or CM models, making the higher upfront cost worth it for operators prioritizing operating savings and longevity. Against competitors such as Sundowner and Trails West, Featherlite stands out for pure weight savings and dealer-backed build quality on open stock applications.
