Been a awhile since I pulled anything but a tank but I never have come across a "Stockton" trailer. Stoughton trailers though, I pulled a lot.
Most trailers have the same suspension under them anyway.
Best trailer brand?

Personally Great Dane makes a good trailer, I would have said Utility for a lower price option, but a friend had one new that the doors wouldn't close properly out of the factory.JoeyJunk, Dino soar, Rideandrepair and 2 others Thank this. -
Opinions vary, Wabash isn't a favorite for vans or refers but some companies buy those.
Great Dane, for either, Utility again for either, Stoughton for vans, Hyundai seems to be good for either. Not pulled many vans in years, and never been hooked to a Stoughton.JoeyJunk, Rideandrepair, God prefers Diesels and 1 other person Thank this. -
I guess build standards are now hit and miss these days?JoeyJunk, shooter19802003, 77fib77 and 4 others Thank this. -
Some Great Danes have been hard to close, too. The swinging meat trailers have double latches on both doors, 96 inches wide, but heavier than a floor load trailer, too. That extra latch helps get stubborn doors to close in my experienceRideandrepair, blairandgretchen and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
Last one in memory was a buddy showing me how a walking floor trailer operated. Mind blowing. On the odd occasion at an unruly receiver, I could see that being handy for flatbeds, vans and reefers alikeRideandrepair, God prefers Diesels and 25(2)+2 Thank this. -
Rideandrepair Thanks this.

Guys I just started pulling a Stockton dry van.
That's great. But it's probably a Stoughton. We will overlook that. Typo. Whatever.
It rides really good with no issues at all.
Again - great! Happy the ride is to your liking.
Please in your opinion, which trailer brand is the best?
Opinions are going to vary here, but there may be LOTS to learn. Good learning segment here.
So - let's move on here. You had an interesting response to a forum member that offered his opinion.
Right now it is the one you can buy
This means that equipment of any kind is rising in price, and is hard to come by. You didn't specify in your post wether you owned the trailer, was looking to buy one, anything really. So you should expect this kind of generic response to a generic question.
"But that is not the question. And if you don't know the question why give an answer. Did I tell you that I am looking to buy a trailer? People like you make truckers look like dummies."
Great. Call the guy a dummy. By the way, I'm a trucker too.
Have a real good look in the mirror the next time you get a chance, and ask yourself - "Am I the problem?"Crusader66, Short Fuse EOD, lester and 6 others Thank this. -
Here you go. Best trailer brand? -
I have all Wabash vans and reefers and IMO are the best. For the reefer unit Thermo King S-600.
If I couldn’t get Wabash then I’d probably look at Great Dane and then Utility.Rideandrepair and Ikamob01 Thank this.
