    If I was making it, and this may all be obvious.
    Go for the same wheel track as your quad, so trailer follows the ruts.
    Straight drawbar so you can turn sharper without catching rear tyres, and allows more room for a human to access the hitch to connect/disconnect.
    Although an A frame type allows you to drop a small tool storage box on the front of the trailer.
    If you buy tyres for the trailer use the square knobbly type tyres if possible as they are less likely to slip sideways on slopes etc. very commonly available in a 22x11-8.
    eg

    Add heaps of tie down points.
    Mudguards strong enough to stand on.
    Front stub axles from a 2wd quad may be ok to set up on a box section trailer axle.
    Go to a 1 7/8s ball on the quad so you can swap trailers between cars/quads.
