    The company I’m leased to has some Hyundai trailers they’re leasing. For a new trailer they’re not bad. Not as nice as the Utility and Great Dane trailers they usually buy, but in my opinion they’re decent. One thing I noticed is everything is galvanized so that should help with corrosion and rust long term.

    Second on the Stoughton. Every Hyundai I've seen breaks the the door frame in 3 years.

    Yeah the Hyundai seems to have details that are nice. Feels solid, rides smooth. The doors feel heavier than the Staughton IMO. I like the handle and step to get in to clean or secure the load. The trailer slide release feels easier and more ergonomic to me.

    I like how the Staughton and others abrare still built in the USA vs. H Heche en Mexico.

    The lock rods and handles are made by Power Brace, so you can’t really fault the manufacturer of a trailer for a outside vendor’s defective part.

    Surprised our 2 haven't busted the doors. 2015 and 2017. I need to replace the door seals on the back doors.

    The front of the wagon started leaking water from idiot forklift drivers thinking it's a 1/4 mile drag race to the front of the wagon:mad:. Caulked the crap out of the outside in the front. It's good for now.

    We had an idea to put like a 12 inch high piece of 1/4in plate steel across the front. That'll stop the forklift in his tracks. Haven't had any abs issues and the tires wear good. Place my dad was leased to had some Stoughton's and he liked them. Full tanks with 300 gallons of fuel I'm 31,600 I think, know it's under 32k
