Trailer Price Rise

[Super08Duty]

Payed close to 11k for our 25+5 PJ deckover. 2-7k singles, Hydraulic jacks, hydraulic over electric brakes, torsion axles, monster ramps, and strap rails. If they offered anything longer I'd have gone for that. Even at 30ft it can be a bit small at times. If you use your trailer often, and want a well built trailer that won't have electric problems all the time, the price isn't all that bad

I just got a quote for a pj 25+5 with all the same options

How do you like it and what deck material did you go with?

Anyone heard of any of these companies? Seem like pretty nice trailers for the money.

Couple things if you are set on a deck over such as the ones you linked. Get the lowest possible deck height.
4 tires against the road is more resistance, less mpg, more upkeep if you don't need it.

If you are only carrying your truck or cars I don't see the need for a deck over with 2 10k axles. It is also a huge pain to load low cars/trucks on deck over trailers.

They have their place for sure, but hauling cars/trucks all the time isn't one IMO.
Only time we use a deck over is when hauling equipment.

I am not set on anything at this point. I am trailer stupid Shone, so I am looking for guys like you to point me in the right direction and show me pictures. LOL
Thanks brother, I appreciate your help. I will give you a buzz this weekend and you can school me.

 

[Spatel23]

No problem at all bud.
Give me a shout

The only thing I don't like about a lowboy gooseneck is that you have to drive over the fenders if you have wheels or tires that are wider then factory.
The fenders are made for it but it still feels sketchy when you cant really see what youre doing (loading alone).

Get the 10k axles and dont look back.

Couldn't be happier. Nicest trailer I've ever used. And they're very well built. It has the standard deck boards. Which have held up fine for over a year

I took a ride out to the dealer in my area and they seem really well built. I was sold after I saw the monster ramps easy loading of just about anything.

Thanks for info

I like that trailer a lot shone and how wide is it between the drive over fenders?

 

[Spatel23]

Thanks

83 inches between those fenders

Thanks Shone, I need to do some measuring.

Price doesn't seem bad at all thanks I'll look into it. I have 2 cars to haul cross country twice a year and always nice for other things. How do you like it? And you have 2 7k lb axles right?

No problem Joe, remember you can drive over the fenders. They support the weight just fine

I think the price cant be beat and you get a pretty killer warranty which includes road side.
I really like it and wouldn't have done anything different if I had to buy it again.
Yes, I have 2 7k axles. They are available with 3 7k axles if you need more capacity.

 

[RedRice589]

Sweet. I want to have enough room to put a mustang and a sedan on. How long is yours? 32'? I don't need 3 that's for sure. Thanks.

 

[Spatel23]

yup
32 feet of straight deck with 8 ft ramps instead of 30 ft straight and 2 ft dovetail with 5 ft ramps
