    If you get that trailer for 5 your gonna have more than 10 and a lot of elbow grease in it. You can get a good trailer for 10.

    I’d sure like to have that. Anyone want to drag it half way to me...
    I thought Ravens were made of old beer cans and broke in half like Transcrafts??

    Have not seen that happen. I am sure given the right situation it could. Then the same could be said for any number of things.

    Sort of comes down to Ford, Chevy or Dodge...

    Something I noticed in the pictures, on the back of the trailer is an air guage. My guess is for suspension pressure. Also, the specs look alot like a steel hualer, bet this had a side kit.

    Exactly. The system isn't complicated if you have the ability to make it happen.

    No kidding. I can barely squeeze under the 75 ft limit Florida has with my 48.

    That Utility is a bit rusted, but the welds still looked strong to me. It is a combo, which will make it a bit heavier than an all aluminum, but it will probably also outlast an all aluminum as well. With proper care and maintenance, that is.

    I'd go $5,000 on it. But not a cent more!

    The Ravens looked nicer but that bulkhead is gonna be an issue if you are doing spot market general freight. No front overhang space available, which will limit you on longer loads.
     
    Oxbow and DSK333 Thank this.
