    Stocktons suck. I know the absolute best Trailer. They’re much better than all the others for a wide variety of reasons. But especially one reason.

    I love my Great Dane trailers. Mine is a 15 van doors will close even when not level. good build quality. Picking up a new 23 WABASH Duraplate HD at end of month. My local dealer had some in reserve for local O/O adding interior lights, led light bar above ICC bumper hooked to my tractor back up lights. Bluetooth air scale and 8 aluminum wheels and extra lights for 60k
    43k trade on my Great Dane. Will see how the WABASH holds up.

    I think Wabash is the best. They’re tough. Stoughton is the next best. Anytime I’ve compared them, the Stoughton was quite a bit less. Making the Stoughton my first choice. Not impressed with my old Great Dane. My current Trailmobile is much better. It’s built exactly like a Wabash. Parts haven’t been a problem yet. As long as I don’t need a front radius corner panel. Probably have to fabricate something. Local Utility Dealer sells more Stoughtons and Stoughton parts than Utility. Considering the beating a Dry Van takes from Fork Lifts. I don’t want a new one. Rather have one that’s already beat up a bit. That way I’m not going nuts watching it get destroyed.

    When you say local O/O I assume that means they won’t sell to folks out of state? Did they have anymore? PM me if so please.

    Thanks guys I have driven all of them. I'm impressed with the Stockton mobility. it looks strong too, also, my gas mileage went up. Sorry if my opinion is different from other people's, but that's what this thread is for.

    Yes but I keep my equipment in pristine shape. Trailer along with trk gets buffed and waxed yearly and it’s in great shape. New tires. Shocks, brakes, air bags, fairly new tires. linear actuators for pin release and no rust on undercarriage. Need to buy something for depreciation.
     
    Rideandrepair and Siinman Thank this.
