Thinking about a new dry van

@rollin coal

 

After reading your post more thoroughly, I see what your going for.

My 2021 trailers are basically spec’d to the max like your looking for only without shiny front and aluminum wheels. Add sky lights, and vented front and rear, plus scale. They were 33,500. After adding placard holders I believe finalized at 33,900.

Add shiny front, Alcoa wheels, 1 more tire carrier your probably looking at about $3000 more I’d estimate. I know with wabash they have different paint colors you can go with from the factory. I do not know if there is much additional cost or not. By the way the duraplate skirts on the wabash trailers are basically bullet proof. I haven’t had one single problem with them. I love their sureloc handle system as well.

So I’d say your looking at $38,000 give or take a little depending on if you keep the skirts or not.

Edit: They also have different color skirts you can go with. Maybe black skirts with silver trailer?

 

I am a little surprised here... I never thought of a dry van in terms of aesthetics. It's been always about utility and durability. Something I would recycle every 5-6 years right at the time it is paid off and still retain a decent trade off value. I would definitely add a spare tire carrier below (capacity for two) and perhaps a side storage box.

 

Nice clean set you got there Scotty

 

Pick my new van up Monday. 2022 utility owner op spec 38k.

 

What ever will you do when it rains and snows and your dry van becomes wet? Will you pull over to towel it dry every 15 minutes?

Good luck to you. Hope you find the van you're looking for and make plenty of money with it.
