Aluma TRAILER  made in Iowa?

I was going approach them about building to my spec.

I ended up with trailer built to my spec locally. It ended up heavier than it
needed to be.

Aluminum single axle nice way to go.

I checked the Tundra's mpg (5.7 liter gasoline) again pulling the '52 Plus 4
on an Aluma flatbed (single axle) this past weekend (CVAR races at Eagles
Canyon).  17.5 mpg on the way up, 14.6 mpg on the way home (5 hours each
way),
70 mph most of the way.  Nice tailwind on the way up = bad headwind on the
way
home... :-(  Trailer with car is under 2500 lbs.
