    @shooter19802003 Here’s a couple with the little 4 decker. I made it almost two full years pulling that 52ft spread to California before I ever got looked at. It cost me $137 and I had to lay low with a short trailer until they stopped paying attention.

    Oops…no offense meant lol. I used to drive one when they first came out. Nothing but trouble for me. I have a CAT now which I like a bit more. I’m just trying to figure out Dino’s issues with Pete’s and CAT’s and why he’s trying so hard to pretend he doesn’t care about the thread but he really does….

    The early ones (pre-2015) were terrible. The newer ones are a little bit better. I just like that they’re lighter than an X15 because they’re a 13 liter. And not knowing much about the Paccar or the X15 I rolled the dice and lucked out with a decent Paccar.

    The blue W9 I had with the Cat was by far more fun to drive though.

    I hauled goats in it once and I left the escape hatches open and didn't realize it. Guy on the radio told me I had goats on the roof of the trailer. I thought he was screwing with me. Well, came to a fairly low overpass and wiped them off at 70 mph......yeap.....there were indeed goats up there. Learned that lesson the hard way. What a pita to clean up!

    I went from Colorado to California (farmer John's) once a week with a trailer identical to that for a few years.
