My 2 cents: 16 ft. if you are only using for a 914 the 18ft. is way to big. Toolbox or something on the front to protect the trailered vihicle from road debris thrown up by wheels of the tow vihicle. Also front half of the floor covered with Alum. plate for the same reason as above. Surge or elec. brakes???? I for one would like more discusion here on the pro and con of both. Brakes are a bad place to cheap out!!!! Lights ,l are L.E.D. standard or optional , if optional worth the extra price, just follow 2 simis one with L.E.D.'s and one without you will see the difference .
