    Are Hyundai trailers as good as Great Dane?

    Hyundai trailers, made in Tijuana. Doesn't mean they're junk, but decide for yourself
     
    KingBill Thanks this.

    I'm just looking for something I'm not going to have to worry about replacing anytime soon. I'm going to be starting from one truck and one trailer. I'm thinking to purchase a reefer trailer and just use the other company's dry van trailers until the dry van drought hits like it does every year and then I will use my own reefer trailer until it passes. So I was trying to find out which one was the most dependable that I can easily get 15 to 20 years or more out of it.

    Ten years ago me and a buddy both bought brand new 53 vans around the same time. He opted for a Hyundai and regretted it. It leaked inside every time it rained. Never did get it sealed up. It also had some ABS issues and the warranty was garbage. I got a Dane and never had any problems ended up selling mine about 6 years ago it was still like brand new.
     
    Siinman and 77fib77 Thank this.

    I will say Hyundai puts rubber on back trailer so when you open it up without a glove you don't burn your hand so it has that going for it...
