After three weeks of waiting i finally got my car and my trailer. My car has a bunch of new features, 3" body lift, cab lights, fender flares, enw bumper and air dam, and my trailer is a 2010 Sure Trac 16' 1/2" x 81' 1/2" with a front tool box/winch cover. Cant wait to install the winch. Snow is out still. I will get some pictures of the trailer in my garage, it fit with 2" to spare, LITERALLY

thanks, im actually taking pictures right now of my garage with the trailer in it for you guys. I am missing some equipment but this is my set up as of now. Hope you like it

nice trailer, but the ramps seem aweful short and might make for a steep angle when down. not a fan of dodge, but the tailer is nice

I totally agree with Grassman. The setup looks very nice, but be careful. We had a similar trailer and had to add 18" to one of the ramps and 12" to the other.

I agree with both Grassman and br549, those gates do look a little short. They look about the same height as mine is on my trailer. At first it was really steep it seemed compared to my old one but now I've gotten used to it. Wouldn't mind having it a bit longer though.

meh, i got a 4ft ramp on my trailer with streight axles, its gunna take you about a day to figure out how to go up in almost a wheelie to not scrape and come down on a slight angle to avoid a hook up, not a big deal

I like that trailer a lot! Truck looks nice too!

 

[DLONGLANDSCAPING]

i didnt realize that they looked short, i purposely got the 4 1/2 foot custom heavy duty gates so nothing would get hung up. I think i might get little higher hitch so the trailer is angles up a little with makes less of an angle, but overal. I loaded my exmark on it last night after i backed it up my narrow driveway and its loaded flawlessly the first time. Maybe they just look short, but im excited about the side gate mostly. Pull Up to a small lawn, open the gate right on the lawn, drive off with the 48" or 36" and start mowing without emptying the whole trailer. Also, To load pallets of sod, i can just take the ramp off and its a 50" opening with a 48" gate. So the pallet will just slide right in with no issues.

Thats a really nice trailer, I just found out I have a dealer of those sure-trac trailers about 30 minutes from me. Guess I will have to go take a look at one. The truck and trailer go well together (but better if the truck were a chevy or ford:laugh.

How do you build sides with the 2x4 incerts on the side under the railings

 

[br549oicu8]

As long as it fits the bill for your needs, that's really all that matters. I hope you don't have to modify. The setup looks really good.

 

[DLONGLANDSCAPING]

what dealer is it, because i live in birmingham,mi and i got mine from Triple C's Trailers. ANd thats prob the dealer by you. If you buy from them, and have a custom built trailer. They will charge you 200 dollars to get the trailer shipped from where they are made to their store location, and will charge you for it. Drive and extra hour and save yourself 200 dollars. It cost me 60 dollars in gas to go get the trailer for Fort Wayne, Indiana.

hope this helps

The dealer near me is Holland Trailer, haven't been there before and didn't even know one existed until I looked. If I do end up ordering me a trailer, I will make sure to save myself money if I can.

i dont think i have to modify anything at all. I just ordered the green touch 4 trimmer trailer racks, and theni think i may get a 2 trimmer rack for an extended reach hegder and pole saw. I really wanted to get a front landscape box but they put the side gate so far up. there isnt any way to do it. What do you guys think about putting the trimmer racks onthe front? i never have done it before but i might try it this time with the trailer racks only having to be unlocked from one side of the trailer.

Please, anyone that can help. please do

btw. I love my truck, but i would get a Ford f-250 so fast if i sold my car. I wouldnt even car if i bought it new and its was 50,000. Ford is the way to go and i wish i would have researched more before i bought my car. I didnt know a 1/2 ton wasnt good for plowing and i found out alot about all tbhis info after i bought my car.

the reason i would by ford is because they stand by their products, the dont take money from the government like every other michigan company, I love my truck, but dodge never has stood by the truck. Blend door, recirculation door, and pullys always dont get covered and it pisses me off.

good deal. just my insight. if you get a sure trac, make sure you get a squar tube top upper rail, or full tube construction because the angle iron on anything over 16 ft doenst hold up with 100lb's plus on the trailer rails*** driving down the road.

hey man is there a leveling kit on ur truck? and the trailer looks great, truck does too.

 

[DLONGLANDSCAPING]

I totally agree with Grassman. The setup looks very nice, but be careful. We had a similar trailer and had to add 18" to one of the ramps and 12" to the other.

how do you add 18" to the trailer ramp after it already is powdercoated, do you take the whole ramp off, weld an extension piece on, powdercoat the whole thing again and put it back on?

There is a leveling kit and a 3" body lift. i might be getting a 3" suspsension too but im not sure that would be good. Im going to get a dana 66 frotn axle and heavy duty suspension to put a plow on the front. Im just worried about the frame. Either that of a F-250 or Dodge 2500
