NW KS/ SC ID | From reading your previous posts on cost analysis for pickup trucks, you know how to run the numbers. I think that if the numbers are crunched, the new trailer makes the most sense.
We cant make the numbers come out for us on new pickups, but we can make the numbers jive on new trailers. For the cost of tires, brakes, lights, etc. and for what people will pay at an auction, new trailers look mighty attractive.
Things to keep in mind: PJ seems to be dropping in quality lately, lots of south of border sub-assembly with bird crap welds. Big Tex looks to be moving up in the quality, they started putting a box beam outer rail in, and now offer a low profile.
For stabilty and safety and re-sale, I think the lo-pro is the way to go.
IMO check out Logan Co. Imp. @ Oakley, and Midwest trailer out of Agra, and the Load trail dealer out of Leoti. Out of the 3, we have only dealt with Midwest, and got along good.
If you are going to Dairy Queen 57 miles east of Colby on I70, and during the trip pass by a trailer seller along the freeway, keep on driving IMO. We have a friend that deals with them, and gets screwed on every deal in some way. He keeps dealing with them, but IDK why.
For brands, IMO Load trail is looking good, as is Big Tex. IMO the Circle C or Circle M dont look quite as well engineered.
I also went to HHD and saw an interesting trailer. While it wont be light, a Midsota looked well designed and built like a tank. | |

Are Diamond C trailers any good? Is it true there are no bargains on used trailers?
