Bushtec is dang good, I have one, selling it "just cuz" I've had one forever, over 20 years.  They pull perfect, hold a lot, I really like the clean look of the hitch pin.   BUT I am buying an American Legend, mostly just cuz I've never had one!!

Curious -- still deciding between the Bushtec and American Legend:  Any particular reason you are going with Bushtec?  Appreciate your comments,  Joel

Talked to a few Bushtec owners on the road. They say the suspension is what makes the trailer. All said it was bounce free even on rough terain.

Thanks, everyone, really appreciate the help.

It is for sure.  I pulled a cheapy trailer back in the 80s that had a solid axle - no suspension whatever.  While I don't recall having any particular problem pulling it due to that I do recall that at the end of the day the contents looked like they'd been in a mixmaster.  What was on top was now on bottom, what was in front was now in the rear.  Seriously, probably not that drastic but the cargo sure did take a beating.  With the Bushtec, nothing and I do mean nothing, moves.  It is that good.  Only complaint I have with trailers in general is that they do add weight and cut down fuel mileage.  But that is a small price to pay for the utility and convenience.  And they look good and are always a conversation starter - as if we needed one, lol.

We love ours... :orange: :orange: :orange:
The way it handles, plenty of room for all our essentials, and it's the lightest.  Don't go without the leather bra in front...
