Trailer hook up ?

[Baba Ganoush]

Thanks, I need a 20 footer.

Correction: it IS a 20 footer, pipe top but only 3500# axles (spring over). Damn near new, had it a month. Got it confused with my car hauler.

That's fine for lifted vehicles but would not work for street cars. At least not without help.

Derp. I forget peoples needs are slightly different sometimes.

I'm in if it's a good enough deal. I've been browsing CL and MFG websites the last few weeks.

All right. I'll post up when I get specs and prices.

Place in Van Alstyne has Top Hat 20' 5200 lb all steel for $3299.
Theres a Big Tex dealer up there too. I might go shop them friday. If anyone else is serious, I'll ask for a multiple discount.

You can't go wrong at either place.

I've bought trailers, a shed and some other stuff from TSI (Texas Steel Industries). I don't know the Son, but the old man there is a really good person. He lives up above and the place is his life. His trailers are technically more expensive than some other places, but they eliminate the need for him to worry about warranties and such (Better manufacturers, better built, more bells whistles like tie downs...etc). Something breaks or goes wrong, you just call the manufacturer and they mail you parts.

The Big Tex place has come a long way since it was Cody Trailers. I use them for inspections, misc parts and such. I still prefer to give business to the family owned TSI if I can though.

Also note, TSI may negotiate a bit on trailers. May not be anything HUGE but things such as a free spare tire w/ mount...etc.

Ceyko is correct. Both were really nice folks and helpful.
TSI has a 20' all steel flatbed trailer with 5300# axles $3300.
Big Texas offers the same for $4800

No deals on multiples. TSI says he makes about $300 on each and I can see that. Steel is crazy high and the labor to build.
He's out of the 5200 version at the moment and will have a few in a week or 2. However, if you want a 5200 you better call and talk to him. He doesn't order many and called the factory while I was there and changed part of his order to get me a 5200 version.

I just talked to Texas Trailer Supply, 20' with 5200# axles was $3200, 7000# axles was $3500. I had the 18' version, 14' with a 4' dovetail and pulled it back and forth across Texas from Texarkana to El Paso probably 2 dozen times, never had a problem.
