An open or flatbed trailer has several advantages. It is generally a lot lighter than an enclosed one, which means you will spend less on fuel pulling it around. It is also likely less expensive to buy. Open trailers are generally easier to modify with racks for your tools (there are plenty of aftermarket kits you can buy and install yourself), and proper airflow is definitely not an issue. If protection from the elements is not a concern for you, an open trailer is probably your best bet.

Regardless of which type of trailer you use, don’t forget to think about security. If the trailer is attached to your truck, lock the hitch so that the trailer cannot be removed. If the trailer is detached, lock the hitch in the closed position so that it will not fit onto a corresponding ball hitch.
