Where is everyone #5

80 and sunny day before yesterday, .97" rain yesterday, snowing right now
Make up your mind weather

 

My Michelin XTE seem to hold up really well.

 

It's 70⁰ windows down Tshirt trucking weather. But I'm not about to jump the gun and turn heater valves off. It could still snow.

 

Interesting. Something tells me TNT did this auction to gauge the market. Bet they didn't expect this.

 

It’s an off brand trailer with no boxes or anything? It’s still cheap for an aluminum flatbed but being base I don’t think it’s crazy cheap.

 

On my Mac I noticed the two wood strips are actually higher than the aluminum floor by just a hair. I wonder if it’s the same with your trailer so the aluminum deck isn’t being beat down.

 

I don't know? Extreme makes a pretty nice wagon..

One of the guys that pops in #5 here from time to time has a 2021 model I believe? Got into it right before the covid pricing took hold..
It's a 53 with rear axle slide, the shiney hiney, dunnage rack, but does not have the lights or stainless panel in front of the foward axle like that 48 has..

Wanna say it was comparable in price, maybe even a few g's less..

Could be a good sign for buyers?

 

They have that model priced at $71,800. To see it go on a no-reserve auction for $40k (plus the $2k premium) speaks a little to the current market conditions. For perspective, in 6/19 when I bought my East for $38k, a equally spec'd Mac was about $8k more, and Extreme was around $10k more.

 

Wow I had no idea. Who in their right mind would buy an extreme over a MAC, especially since it’s cheaper!!!! There’s quite a few extreme complaints on this forum.

 

I think all 3 are quality trailers, however I hate the fact that both Mac and Extreme use plastic stab airline connectors. Fine if you trade for new every few years, or don't have a problem changing them all out for compression fittings. I suppose any of them could be ordered with them, but never really got that deep. In a perfect world, I'd trade my trailer for a new one when the tires need replaced.
