    Anyone have personal experience with Utility 4000 dx composite? I found a couple at about half market price for my area and they look pretty nice. Going to go look at them in a few days. I run general freight and like to have "food grade" which I believe this qualifies as. I like the 20k floors and overall stronger build quality of the post and sheet style. I got a Wabash duraplate a few years ago and it is fine but it seems so #### flimsy compared to my previous sheet and plate style great dane. I am getting a bit tired of working on the wabash as well lol. If you have owned one or hauled one around let me know! Thanks!

    It is a great trailer. Bought mine new in late 2018. No issues at all. Light and still nice and sturdy.

    Thanks for the reply! They look really nice and extremely over built compared to my duraplate. This pair I am looking at is 2012 which is probably insanely old for most people but I run pretty old equipment. They look really nice. Hopefully I can make the deal! I wanted something more heavy duty and those seem to fit the bill. I don't see anyone complaining about them online.

    Looks pretty nice! My current trailer is a 2004 and has served me well but I am tired of working on it. I had a 2000 great dane when I started and it is inspiring my move back to a post and sheet style trailer.

    Went and looked at them today. 24k floors. New scuff rails, new brakes, new shocks, okay tires, floors looked amazing, no roof damage, no suspension damage, zero rust, new door seals, fresh DOT, a few dents and dings on the sides. Bought one for $4500 which according to what I have seen is WAY below the market price. I might buy another one to put up for sale.
     
    Siinman and TheLoadOut Thank this.
