35,000.00 range, steel would be mid 25,000. Its ~800lbs heavier than my steel trailer and 5' longer ~6500 to 7300 of the crossman



Its literally a Step deck semi trailer designed to go behind a pickup


Meow! I guess it's worth it when you make a living with it. I thought average steel goosenecks were high enough.

Awesome trailer though. I'm assuming it bumped up your gross capacity?

14" neck and 19" mains bolted with hot dipped galvanized steel and Huck fasteners
At 36,000lb gross I can put ~21,000 on the deck of the trailer.. Most guys I talk to are lucky to get 17,000 on deck
Its easy 2x the trailer that runs a 12" 22ppf steel beams steel trailer be 3-4000lbs heavier

I bought wheels and tires on craigslist. It was raining and I was too stupid to inspect them. One wheel had a janky weld job on it to "repair" a crack. The weld started leaking air. The wheels are discontinued....... ANYWAYS I picked up a set of Hummer wheels yesterday that some guy only had on his Hummer for one day, then boxed them up and stored them in his shop! Other than that, I have to figure out the best way to deal with rocker panel/cab corner rust.

Truck ran a personal best of the slowest ET and the fastest mph haha. 15.1 @ 115mph. Either I'm restalling the converter again or swapping my high pressure charger for a different brand.
