That’s a south of the border special. Wonder if it had bald tires on it and was missing all if the lights?
Looks like someone beat me to this answer. -
Yes Hyundai trailers made in T.J. Years ago I worked for a co in San Diego and we had a facility in T.J. They would cross daily to our facility in San Diego and had Kenworth of Mexico trucks. (truck tractors) I assumed they were made in Mexico.

Atros Trailers i can more so vouche for, than not. The mexicans use and haul freight the way my people do back in Honduras and im talking about screw regulations, over weight, and hauling material thats gonna be rough on and deteriorate the trailer badly if not of good quality. So we’re are getting a bang for our buck here my brothers and sisters ive never driven one but just to be safe, i might lease a couple to check them out

We are a repair shop in Addison, IL and we just had an Atros trailer come into the shop to be inspected. This has a Atros home made suspension and it says trailer is 13'6" we measured it at 13' 9" at the rear. We can't adjust it lower because the air bags don't have air in them at 13'6". Looking into finding air bags that will work. The floor is 1 1/8" hardwood (not sure what it is but it is not oak) not 1 3/8 oak they also only installed 2 floor screws per board not three. We are repairing that. The bottom rails are set up for 1 3/8 flooring so they just caulked the gap. The crossmembers to not have clips, they used a 45' piece of 4x1/8 steel front to back and welded the crossmembers to that, we can't tell if they put Mylar tape in between the bottom rail and steel to prevent corrosion. Lights are installed with black electrical tape out of factory, we are now installing heat shrink butt connectors on all the connections. This trailer made one 300 mile trip in Texas and came empty to Chicago, we are at $2000.00 to $2500.00 to repair a brand new trailer. $28,000 is not a deal, you get what you pay for.
