The cost of good equipment has gone up significantly in the past 4 years. While the prices went up, many companies seemed to lose quality. For whatever reason, what might have been great 5 years ago might not be now. While I was looking for a dump trailer, I looked at Diamond C, Lamar, Load Trail, and a Canadianbuilt Galvanized trailer. The Galvanized trailer was $5K more than a Diamond C so I quickly moved on.

We always want the best quality, but the cost difference for a Diamond C was pretty significant and the quality between Lamar and Diamond C was pretty close to the level of the dump trailer I was looking to purchase. Load Trail also makes a nice dump trailer, but they do not have the same fit and finish as Lamar and some of the things they design into the trailer seem like costcutting rather than innovative. The single item I liked on the Load Trail was the rear dropdown supports. They looked a lot larger and maybe more stable.

The powder coating on the Lamar is far superior to many others on the market. The grey color might be hard to match with a rattle can, but they seem to cover more of the trailer than many others, especially PJ!
