This is just the perfect trailer. Pulls like a dream and a great value. The quality craftsmanship exceeds expectations. My first haul with it was over 1000 miles and it felt light as a feather but sturdy as a rock.

I love my 20 ft feather lite. I pulled a 24 ft sooner for 30 years and look forward to pulling this feather lite for 30 more. It is strong and well built.

So I recently sold my traveled but extremely well maintained 2009 Featherlite 16' 4926 enclosed car trailer. I needed something with an additional 6" of height and couple of feet in length. Ideally an 18' 4926 @ 78" height would have been perfect. But first I decided to list my old trailer on Craigslist and eBay. Wow, talk about interest. Loads of serious inquiries. I ended up selling the trailer for $1,000 more than I originally paid for it almost 12 years ago. But what to do about a replacement? I contacted Golden Gait Trailers in NC and they had a 20' 4926 Featherlite with an additional 6" height in stock. It was a no brainer. I picked it up and put it to work.

I purchased this trailer new last summer, and have used it several times. I am very pleased with it. It is well designed and manufactured. It tows well. Tie down rings are well placed and easy to use. Fenders are removable for extra loading room. Brakes work well.

List of discrepancies found with our brand new trailer upon pickup at the dealer are as follows: -Marker light did not work and we found that it had no continuity to ground. -Scene light had a pinched gasket and each of the scene lights have one of the mounting screws stripped out. -Fan control holder mounted crooked -Final cleaning was sub-par -Vise grips left on chassis -Battery box door not square with box -Powder coat flaking off angle iron -Rust on fairlead and in winch box -Decent size scratch in upper right outside corner -Many aluminum welds were inconsistent and lesser quality than I had expected. Finally, I would offer this to Featherlite: When you are buying “the best” and it’s brand new you should get quality workmanship with attention to detail, not just good enough. It is important to get the little things right because if you can’t get the little things right you will never get the big things right. Regards Darren Wassmus

The trailer is very nice how ever there where some very sharp edges in some areas that needed attention and modified so not to do harm to the horses An hour of work and it was perfect the horses love it and so do i

I'm very pleased with my purchase, it performs well.

I purchased the Featherlite 7441 trailer in early September as I only have one horse, for now. I have about 3000 miles on it so far in the last 4 months. I bought the trailer for several reasons. I know others who have them and recommended the brand. I like the 16 inch rims with E rated tires. The suspension system is smooth. I like the hitch as it is very easy to latch and unlatch. I have towed it behind a half ton and a one ton pickup truck and both tow it equally well. My only complaint is the with the latch on the drop down window. The latch is blind rivetted to the frame. One cannot get to it without disassembling the frame. On mine it was loose so that when the release handle was turned the connecting cable pulled the latch and not the locking bar. Once that occurred the window would not stay closed and flopped open. The nearest "Featherlite" dealer is several hundred miles away. I epoxied the latch in place and it fixed the issue.
