Featherlite 8542 Gooseneck Horse Trailer
The Featherlite 8542 stands out for its full-aluminum construction and thoughtfully designed front tack room, delivering best-in-class corrosion resistance and a lower curb weight that improves tow fuel economy and reduces wear on tow vehicles. Compared with heavier steel competitors on this list, Featherlite’s premium build commands a higher upfront price but offers lower long-term maintenance and stronger resale value for buyers focused on lifecycle cost and longevity.
