Trailer Prices are nuts

[tdhanses]

So I decide to wait to get a utility trailer last fall and picked one up today, steal trailers are more expensive then aluminum trailers today! I picked up a Carry-on 6x12 aluminum for $2399 and I’m seeing 6x12 steal trailers for $2400-$2600, that’s just crazy.

Did aluminum not have a price spike like steal?

Probably because nobody was paying the premium for aluminum ones before. So maybe there are more of them to be had?

Every thing with wheels is bonkers these days.

That’s possible, there were more available and it was on sale from $2599.

Steel prices are rising faster than aluminum right now.

WOW! In late 16 I bought a 7,000 lbs 18 foot tandem w/ brakes for $ 1,950.00. Think I'll go out and wax it tomorrow! HA!

I bought a 6.5 X 14 foot tandem axle steel/wood deck, W/spare tire and 4 wheel brakes, $4,170 OTD (4/27/2021) and I don't even have anything to haul on it yet. just getting ready ....... Around here they are hard to find, kind of like Pioneers......

I ran into a hot looking lady on the corner of Main Street and she wanted $75 for a rub and tug and you think trailer prices are high 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I went with a 6×14 double axle from tractor supply. After taxes, title, registration it cost me just under $2600. Wife thinks I'm crazy for wanting to put rock lights on the trailer....

Bought this 7'x20' tilt bed tandem, w/electric brakes and spare tire, three years ago. $2,200.00 plus tax. H&H Speed loader trailer, solid unit.

Man, I like that trailer. I've been thinking about something like that for my pioneer, and for my sleds in the Winter. While not as optimal for the sleds as a my pure sled hauler, it could do double-duty sufficiently.

 

[Thorney]

Works awesome for sleds.

It'd be really cool if you could put a short drop ramp off a front side to drive them off.

Are you backing them off, or what? And how many sleds can you put on that 20'?

 

[Thorney]

I only put two sleds on the trailer (in line). Could probably put three on if I staggered them. I just back them off. The bed tilts easy enough, and my machines have reverse so no need for a front ramp.
