One thing to make sure with any trailer is to have a spare tire and the means to change it. I borrowed a friends trailer and although the tires looked perfect we had a blowout. That created a whole new set of problems.
Mainly the tires...fear of a blowout. The few I saw did not have a lot of tread left and overall condition/maintenance wasn't impressive (I can look past surface rust).

I just stumbled onto the website mentioned and was very surprised that a suitable trailer was local, not to mention a 2024 with some nice options. Figured it was a 'sign'.

With the $$ I have invested in the GTO, I would kick myself if I went the U-Haul route and had an issue, when a seemingly better choice was literally around the corner. Good to know everyone's experience though, in case I 'have' to go that route.
