Ive had this 24 ft trailer for almost two years now and it’s definitely my favorite trailer we own. Pulls great empty and at capacity, seems really well balanced. Most days im running our 14k dump trailer from another brand and its night and day difference going down the road and especially backing long distances. Needed another couple d rings mid deck but thats the only thing I can complain about and not much of a complaint really.
Interesting, we've sold a ton of these and never seem to have had that problem! Only possible issue would be a medium duty size truck with a pintle recessed exceptionally far under truck...we've seen that a few times on different trailers, but not common at all. I'd much rather have that issue on 1 out of a few hundred than put the jack rearward and make it a PITA for every other customer!
Precisely my thought the moment I saw that poor design. I really like many of the design features of this trailer but cannot imagine what went through their minds when they put the jack there. The moment I buy a used light duty trailer with an A-frame jack, I remove it, throw it away and buy a real on that mounts farther back. I am not going to have my tailgate destroyed by someone opening my tailgate nor losing access to the bed by me not opening it. Even if it clears by an inch when the truck is perfectly straight, sometimes the truck isn't inline with the trailer making it even closer and tempting fate for damaging the tailgate and they are not cheap. I know the sales guy's job it to put lipstick on a pig but really dude, a guy can't take a single step back to lower the jack and it's a PITA for him. LOL. Every other more well thought out trailer uses the proper position for the jack. This alone is a deal killer for me, otherwise, I really think I would buy one. If the sales guy thinks it isn't an issue, post a video of a OEM 2500 truck with OEM tires, with the hitch at the proper height for a level trailer and a normal hitch not extended way out and prove it isn't an issue.
They are hydraulically locked in place. In the highly unlikely event you sever a line while driving, you are also carrying about 22% pin weight. I'm no engineer, but it would take a massive hole and some slope to get that bed to raise, even without the hydraulic pressure with a 3000# tongue weight under load.
your speech and explaining are great , your perfect for these U Tube videos Thank You
Thanks Dan, probably missed my calling for Hollywood, maybe a second career! :-)

Good to hear Ben

A forward mounted jack will not allow the tailgate to be lowered for access to the bed

Do these have a safety to keep the deck down when the deck is dropped? Or is it just held down by the cylinders?

Whats the weight on this deck over trailer?
That trailer will run about 4600# depending on options and length.
Yes show it loading cars and SUVs
Wish I had more time to make these, but I don't. If hauling cars/truck, most customers will add a winch, as often the vehicle is inoperable.
