Looks like they skimp on welding and paint
What is a good brand ? To look at

I haven’t been too impressed with the Texas Pride trailers that I’ve looked at. Personally I’d stay away from them as well.

I’m looking for a 16’ dump as well, and I’m looking at PJ, Load Trail, and X-On. There might be some others I should be looking at, but I haven’t seen enough of them to know.

I went and looked at many trailers around DFW few months ago. In my opinion Maxxd looked better than any of them, so that it what I ordered. These were all utility trailers in the 14-16' range.

Lots of trailer companies have gone downhill after being bought out and quality has gone down the tubes
I in my research to find a good long term trailer I found this

Which might explain why some trusted companies are now becoming lower quality
P.s mitt Romney is one of the owners if that matters to a buyer

Interesting article.

guess I need to call a few places tomorrow to see about inventory.

I like the Load Trail trailer, except... they don't have stake holders on the side, they have several "D" rings. Which is good there are several but don't work as well with chaining down a tractor.

still looking. Called several trailer retailers. same answer... trying to get inventory from the trailer makers.

2020 SUCKS. sure is frustrating. But...it is what it is. Folks had to shut down and now trying to catch up.

Been pleased with my Ranch King, it is actually one of the best thought out trailers I have ever seen on how it was built. Major uprights and top are square tube. Fenders are heavy diamond plate with step areas in front of them. The LED trail lights are incase inside square tubing. Folding rear tailgate.

Come to think of it, it is the first trailer I have never had a trailer light issue with either. It is going on 10 years old as well.

They are owned and operated by the same folks that own Trailer WHeel and Frame in Houston.

I bought an X-On trailer from a dealer outside of Lytle off of 35. I think its a well built trailer and looks good, but I over paid for what it is and compared to similar trailers by other companies. But I needed one that day for a job that was starting in the area.
