    Its a tater trailer is what it is. They still run springs.

    They're lying to u. The NEW stainless siding adds that much. Its A LOT lighter then the older stuff. Think 1500+ lbs. And I'm leaning to the +

    I wouldn't touch it unless its a steal. For $4 or $5k it may be worth putting a spread axle under.

    We get enough claims in produce with air ride. Spring ride just beats the hell out of the boxes on the bottom untill they blow out

    Your finding all the springs cause your in ID. All there is to haul is spuds.

    Its up to you. Pwrsonally is go for less flash with air ride. But the springs are why they are so cheap.

    I'll surmise it's way heavier than that. Ask them the guage (thickness).

    I know the price seems attractive, but would bet you'd hate that wagon within 2 weeks of buying it.

    Spring ride reefer on top of all that? No way.
