    I have cash in hands, looking for a 53 Reefer trailer, swing doors and TK S-700 with less than 10k hours on the engine. I will agree on SB-320 too, but I don't think I can find one in low hours and good condition. Thanks for reading.

    Prime Inc, has many reefers. 2018 utility with brand new TK S-700 offered for $55k. 2017 utility with brand new TK S-700 $50k. I don't know why they are putting new engines on these trailers. What happened to the original engine, installed when new?

    There are some 2016 with low hours (7-8 000) in the truck paper, also.

    Is 2016 too old ? Can broker refuse to load me?

    They were removing Carrier X4 7300 and 7500 units that were approaching seven years old and replacing them with TK S-600 and S-700 because according to CARB TRU regulations the Carrier units were not compliant anymore, unless a Carrier EES DPF was installed, which would make the Carrier units CARB Compliant Forever.

    TK Precedent S series reefer units are CARB Compliant forever.

    Also I never had a broker or shipper ask how old my trailer was, so the age of their trailers was irrelevant.
