I'm looking at buying this trailer, what do you guys think? Good/bad price, anything that needs to be changed. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks

Looks good. I've got a Manac 09 stretch. Pretty stout.
The tare weight is good. Light.
2 boxes are handy.
Tires look like they're close to replacing - bargain them down on that.
Considered a 53'? Gives you a little edge.
Good luck.stwik and OLDSKOOLERnWV Thank this. -
Company Im leased onto loads mostly 48" deck freight. There is some loads that require stepdecks but doesn't may more at all for stepdeck. Literally my dispatcher offers me 2 loads going to same place and stepdeck doesn't offer a penny more. So I figure why get a stepdeck and not be able to use it to full potential. 48" is more universal all-around trailer imo.
blairandgretchen Thanks this. -
2' over front, 4' over rear - and you've got a 59' load that you can charge accordingly upon.
2c, ''tis all. -
BUT:
The brand is good, the trailer is light, I really like the fact that the tool boxes are forward so you can utilize a sliding tandem and storage. I would love to have the option to slide my tandems. The air gauge is an added bonus.
$18500, if it was a private sale I doubt it would sell for much more than that. But then again prices vary a bit depending on the region -
And I got low pro 24.5 on mine too. They can be a pain to fetch a used tire for in a time of need (otr) I would much rather own 22.5 tires, you can find them anywhere used. And have a selection to choose from to boot
-
I was thinking about talking them about exchanging wheels/tires to 22.5s

It's way more cost effective to get you trailer already with 22.5 if that's what you want, because buying all new rims + the cost of tires... yeah it's gonna cost some $stwik Thanks this.
