    It was only their USA division that got folded up. They continue to operate in much of the world, including Mexico.

    This company is out of Mexico. Nice looking stuff. They are willing to custom spec for customers like the big guys used to do. No vans that I’m aware of however.

    New reefers were scarce when I bought mine in mid-2018 and I paid $73k for a new Utility reefer with a TK S-600 cooler. So prices really aren't any higher on new equipment, just harder to come by now.

    S series is California CARB compliant forever. C series only for 7 years from date of manufacture. The s series has some more expensive parts, but probably also higher resale value.

    I sell new Great Danes and the pricing is going up like lumber did because of the suppliers raising their prices...aluminum, steel, tires, lights, wiring, wood for the floors, etc. have all gone up a few times already this year. I've been doing this 10 years and have never seen it like this before. We are selling new flat floor trailers for $52,000 with FET right now. Add another $25,000-$30,000 for a unit (if you can find one) and you are in for a new trailer in December for $77,000-$82,000. We were selling owner op specs for that just a handful of years ago.

    A new composite van with tire inflation, alum roof, steel rims, air ride, and a few other small adds will likely be $38,000 next year. I was selling stock vans like this for $25,000 about 8 years ago.
