I have done some research and visited a few snowmobile trailer manufacturers, but what trailer do you have? What do you like and dislike? I am in the market for a 16ft inline. I have 2 skidoo freeride 137s. ProStarr? Triton? Ameralite M-series? Snopro? Mission? So many options, but which is the best? Looking for quality, reliability, easy to tow. Thanks!
What is the best inline snowmobile trailer?

Something to watch with Triton trailers is that a lot of their stuff is odd dimmensions that only Triton uses. Axles and brakes are worst. Axles that have to be custom built to fit frame, brake rotors that have od offset or brake pads that can only be bought from trailer dealers at HUGE prices.
I'd certainly consider one myself but they are way out in NH and I am in MN so not really an option here.
You won't believe how far people travel to the Proline location to buy their trailers.
Also, keep in mind no matter what trailer you buy, the material will be thinner than the trailers of the past. The trailers of 10 years ago were built with much thicker side skin. They were heavier, yes, but less prone to dents and dings.
Anything Alcom has taken over has gone down in quality.
I bought a 2 year old Nitro trailer to flip and could not believe how poorly it was put together.....

What does "X2" mean?
I have a Mission single enclosed, bought it new for $3,200 5 years ago and have pulled it all over the northeast US and Ontario. It's holding up nicely, the only thing I've replaced is a led tail light(damaged filled with water), both fender led lights(wires rotted off the bulbs) and a lift cyl for the front access door.
All common stuff on all trailers I believe.
The only thing I would want if I ever get a new trailer would be a galvanized torsion axle, keeping this regular one is a chore to keep rust free...I'm slowly losing that battle, but it should hold up for 5+ more years safely.
Alcom builds over a half dozen other brands including Triton and all of them are about the same for hinges, latches and materials. I always admired Tritons wiring harnesses but on an enclosed trailer 95% of the wiring is inside out of the elements. My 2bits, good luck OP.

Well, I always think of it like this: I will be towing this trailer longer than it takes for me to put my sled in and out of the trailer. I will be taking this trailer on 10 hour round trips, so for the 5 minutes that it takes me to put my sleds in and out of the trailer, I could care less about the height. I feel like it is more about the towing of the trailer and well constructed. So with how low and aerodynamic and sleek the prostarr is and everything that I have read with how good it is towing it in the snow, I am really leaning towards prostarr.
That was exactly my thoughts. If you search I had a thread going a few years ago about which trailer to get. I ended up renting a few and deciding that while a big V nose would be nice, I wanted something extremely easy to tow. I have a Ram 1500 diesel and run Blizzak snow tires and am very confident in winter driving. The roads in northern Ontario and Quebec can get pretty dicey.
The bullit tows amazingly well behind my truck. It doesn't move it around at all even in high winds etc. I got electric brakes as an option for a little more safety. I debated getting the 6" extra height option but decided I didn't really need it.

I think the complete opposite. I use my trailer for misc. storage most of the year and only tow it a handful of times at best. So taller works better for me. Plus with the taller trailer it's more convenient when stand up to get dressed, fueled, etc. at the trail head. I wouldn't mind a shorter trailer too but I don't have room for 2 trailers.
Agreed, as in seconded.

Stay away from NEO. Absolute junk. I owned a Proline before and it's twice the trailer.
I've owned 4 Neo's. And one Proline (purchased in 2020, paid $800 delivery charge to Michigan). I sold the Proline earlier this year after purchasing my current Neo. Prolines come with galvanized axles which I like but you can get thicker skin on a Neo. And the Neo door latches are a lot nicer and easier to use.
IMO they are both big aluminum boxes on wheels.

Are Neo's still leaf sprung or have the moved to torsion axles like most trailers?
In 2019 I ordered a new 7.5 wide Neo and at that time, on the 7.5 wides, torsions were standard. But springs are standard on most models AFAIK, and it might cost around $400/axle to upgrade to torsions. My current trailer has leafs since I bought it used.
I was not aware Triton made a 7.5x16 snowmobile trailer but I see this dealer has a couple in stock. I was aware of the TC167 but this is a TC1674 apparently? Same trailer just six more inches interior width?
