    That's about what they cost.
    What amount did you think new dry vans are worth?

    It's been like that for several years. If you can find a dealer who has any you will pay his asking price. If not there's people ready to beat down the doors who will. I had to wait 3 months for a dealer stock ordered one. It was a much longer wait to spec one. I have a 2016 Great Dane van I'll sell to you right now for $25,000 :-D
     
    Ruthless and DieselDrivinDaddy Thank this.

    No mine is just a dealer spec trailer with steel wheels and only the required USDOT lighting. It's not a fancy one. It has logistics posts on 16" centers and an aluminum roof which which was basically what I needed in a box trailer. I did have a manual lift added to the front axle.

    Is a good savings on tires with the lift axle?

    That's way too much for a Wabash.

    I paid $30,500 for my Great Dane Champion SE in February. Got a better price from GD than I could on Wabash or Utility and neither had the specs this one did.

    I just received an email last week from a salesman at Great Dane saying trailer prices will increase 7-10% in the near future because of steel costs.

    So if you think prices are high now, you may be kicking yourself if you wait too long.

    I got a Stoughton Tough plate for $27600 in December, with tire inflation, but no skirts. Great Danes were $28200 with skirts and inflation and $26k without, but wait time was 3 months
