Featherlite 8413 Combo
The Featherlite 8413 Combo earns a top spot for its all-aluminum construction and lightweight design that maximizes payload and reduces fuel and tow-vehicle wear — a clear technical and long-term financial advantage for owners focused on running costs. Compared with heavier steel-framed rivals on this list, it generally delivers better corrosion resistance and resale value while still offering a well-organized slant load with an integrated tack compartment for practical everyday use.
