Man that’s a proper trailer salesman. The place I bought mine from they acted like they could hardly be bothered to give me any attention. Even when I was like, ok here’s the trailer I want to buy, they didn’t ask anything about what I was going to do with it or anything.
Don’t want or need a trailer! I watched it because it’s better than TV! Lol. That being said, what a great presentation! Informative, easy to understand, just great! Mr. Rick could sell water in a flood zone!
Two things forgot to mention... 1- the extra 2 feet of trailer means 500lb less cargo because the trailer weight is increased by that weight and the gross stays the same. 2- the low dovetail scrapes the ground on a quick incline like into a driveway or even some roads. Nonetheless, I went with the extra two feet and the dovetail 😁
I ordered the 20ft with the 2ft dovetail. Started regretting not going for the extra 2ft but if it's adding more weight and scrapes the ground, then I think I'm good. I will be hauling low cars so I'm not sure tbh.
@@MrSharkBait561 Just looked up the specs. Capacity difference between a 16' to a 22' is only 330 lbs (55/ft). The longer dovetail isn't lower. It's just more gradual. Yes, it's a little further back from the axles making it rub a little easier but it's very minimal. I'd without hesitation get the 22' instead of the 20' for an extra $75.
You do a excellent job on describing options on the trailers you sale. I wish you were closer to Kings Mountain N.C. Great video I appreciate it so much.
I recently bought a brand new 20 ft dovetail trailer it really looks good but after using it a while it's not what I expected for the money the break have never worked right they slow the truck down but even in Grass you can't adjust them to where they'll lock the tires at I think the brake drums are so out of round they just occasionally will catch one of the fenders has already broke loose from where it was welded together I think that happened when the guy delivering it pulled in the driveway I heard a loud popping noise and it seemed like it was coming from the fender the hitch on front of trailer is not adjustable it's too big for the 2-inch ball not big enough for 2 and 5/16 so it just flops up and down on empty trailer. I bought it in Alabama so that's too far for me to carry it back I just want to hope it holds together the only good thing I can say about it is the trailer is set up so you can use your tailgate down
What always strikes mewith the American trailers is just how far back the axles are mounted - while this would make sense with a 'fifth wheel' setup, it puts a LOT of tongue load on the tow bar. In Some countries, like down here, there are relatively low tongue weights than can be used, largely because of the affect it has on the dynamic loading of the tow vehicle and the tow vehicle specified loadings.
WWhat I find weird is the most there trailers are C channel where we use box and there axles are underrated I’ve seen so many TH-cam videos with bent trailer axles hat I find weird is the most of there trailers are C channel where we use box and there axles appear to be underrated I’ve seen so many TH-cam videos with bent trailer axles
@@hamscanner I'm not sure which side of the Atlantic(?) you're on, but on the American side they 'seem' to have a lot of problems with wheel bearings - but that may be due to the higher loadings, much higher speeds, and greater distances they subject them to? And, of course, they may be statistically very rare and it's just because of the trailer-miles that make them seem more common.
When some many American truck have 1000 to 3000lbs tonge weight. 1/2 truck to 1 ton truck.(1 ton dual rear wheel truck are towing 36k lbs trailers now) Tongue weight is not as big of a problem with our larger trucks.
If you look at the purpose of these trailers, they are equipment haulers... the heavy equipment is centered or just forward of the axles for the best load and tongue weight distribution. A good demonstration of this is a box trailer construction. Barn doors indicate a more centered load and a forward axle and a ramp door is a more rearward axle.
I have a 20 ft tilt deck, way better than a ramp trailer in opinion dont have to worry about being lined up and easy to load the race cars or anything else actually
So for practical use, I like thebone with the solid sides at 20 feet. But I'd love to have the one that wide enough for a half ton to sit on. I wonder if the other are wide enough for a modern f150 to sit on without any rubbing.
It's a shame that they use garbage paint that doesn't last in the northeast or anywhere salt is used for snow melt. I own a dump trailer so I know this for a fact. Otherwise a nicely built trailer.
Man I bought five PJ Trailers. My first one was a 14 ft 4 ft was low profile dump trailer, then we bought for 16 ft 4 ft wall dump trailers. All within a year-and-a-half, and I'm about to make a video. Reasons why not to buy a PJ Trailer first is poor craftsmanship. Looks like they hire guys that are practicing to weld. And the door self locking mechanism is the worst if you're dumping and you don't pay attention and your door comes unhinged they've been as the crap out of the door. Then they have no warranty want you to find somebody to fix it however sloppy way they figure out how to. Worst decision ever to buy a PJ dump trailer when there is so many other better options
based on length i would think te axles there and the weight rating it would be for is to support heavy things loading, yes, but also to load more than one thing, with the heaviest, centered , narrow weight back there since that usually is the thing that would do the loading. the ones we saw are the ones he showed based on the pottential needs for the potential person doing extreme gardening and pro cultivation and XTREME clipping businessses where there may be multiple types of equipments or materials loaded that may weigh a lot, may not, and if you didnt need the whole 22 feet you would load your trailer appropiately and if you always end up doing that, you bought the wrong one.
The dude who's asking the question must not've ever been around trailers in his life! I understand asking questions to inform the viewers, but he was legit asking many of those questions. I can't believe the dude who's answering the questions didn't tell him a shorter trailer is more difficult to back up than a longer one. It doesn't seem like those dovetails are on as much of an angle as I'm used to seeing. I could be wrong, it may be the video or something. [edit] My God! He's having to explain the different dovetails and ramps and the different angles they create as if he's explaining it to a 11 year old girl! Do you see these ramps and the angle they're at? Ok. You have to decide if that will work for what you plan on hauling. That's it. I don't know what you're going to haul. That dude kind of acts like he's playing for the other team.
Guy has game👍Best review I have ever watched and if I lived near you would have bought one just from the care taken to make sure customer is pleased❤️Just listening to his presentation let’s you know they have it together
My son bought a buggy hauler... I was thoroughly impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of materials. Not to mention, it was powder coated instead of being just painted.
I look for welds across the flange of the beams in flexing areas. Many small trailer manufacturers make the mistake of welding in the wrong places. When you work these small trailers every day, all day long, they'll have cracking problems. For recreational periodic uses, they're typically fine.
Great video, but would like to know more about the various types of trailer jacks, and axels. I bought a Hudson trailer with mobile home axels. I later found out the mobile home axels are inferior. The trailer salesman didn’t educate me on this shortcoming.
I have a 2014 20 foot with 7k axles, brakes on all 4 wheels, manual hydraulic tilt. A powered one is fine but actually slow. I can bring a loader or mini excavator up to it, push it down, drive on to the point in tilts back to lock position. Power down is just wrong. The 4" cross members on mine are on 14" centers so the floor will handle about anything you can safely put on it. Yes it weighs a little more but not that much. I put 14 ply tires on it after the originals starting getting scary looking. Stand up ramps are noisy, cut your mileage always, hard to move with age. Stowable ramps are a back ache and prone to noise making. For a bit more money, get a tilt, at least 5k axles, and always brakes all around. See if Powder coating is available over any paint process. Way more durable.
Wow, this guy. Nice and knowledgeable and there to explain what you may like and to give you the options for you to make a choice. Id pass 6 trailer dealers to get to this 1...impeccable
THAT steel deck at the very end of the trailer is slicker than SNOT , when Dry , and really slick when wet ! PJ should have welded 1 inch square tubing every six inches across the steel deck for traction !
What most trailer manufacturers do not tell you is that the 83" width on the spec sheet is not overall but inside the fenders. That is very important when you're trying to figure out if the equipment you are hauling will fit inside the railing of the trailer!! This is a very informative video and it might save you a lot of grief from getting the wrong trailer! I know it helped me! Thanks!
How much is the trailer with the side walls, the side ramp entry, the generator tool box on the front? How long is it? I’m looking for something to haul a car, a mobility scooter, a generator, a flat ocean kayak and a supboard. Easy ramps with no fuss no frustration, no perfect aim 😉
I love this video. The supper buggy hauler is my choice for my needs. Im just not ready for a trailer but when I'm ready to pull the trigger it's the one. Thanks for posting
Not enough attention paid to the jacks on the back, they not only prevent lifting the truck but prevent damage to the trailer frame if the item is heavy.
Man that’s a proper trailer salesman. The place I bought mine from they acted like they could hardly be bothered to give me any attention. Even when I was like, ok here’s the trailer I want to buy, they didn’t ask anything about what I was going to do with it or anything.
lol, i walk straight out of those places. wish more folks were like this guy!
Don’t want or need a trailer! I watched it because it’s better than TV! Lol. That being said, what a great presentation! Informative, easy to understand, just great! Mr. Rick could sell water in a flood zone!
Finally TH-cam suggested a video I actually want to see and was interesting .
I don’t even need a trailer… what a great video… I watched the entire thing. Def would buy from this guy.
“We dont sell things here, we educate people and help them make a good choice” 👍
Well if they sold that toolbox on the front, I'd buy it 😎
Providing extreme value 🔥
Love this! I sold cats this way too!!!

Very very good trailer dealership. Got a friend in Illinois with a construction company, will be recommending this dealership.
This is a dang master class and I love it!
You do a excellent job on describing options on the trailers you sale. I wish you were closer to Kings Mountain N.C. Great video I appreciate it so much.
Great video and what an awesome trailer dealership! Wish all salesman were like that.
Thanks! 👍
Great, Great, Great video. I don't have a trailer, but I would love one. This was a very informative video.
Glad you loved the video. Let us know when you’re ready. 😎👍🏻
Thanks brother

Real good Tailer salesman. Very knowledgeable
I have a 20 ft tilt deck, way better than a ramp trailer in opinion dont have to worry about being lined up and easy to load the race cars or anything else actually
Looked at an aluminum 20 foot tilt trailer. Sure like the idea.
Only thing bad about the ramps being on the rear is if you use bullet hinges those things are junk and will freeze up
This trailer guy is great. 👍🏽
3:50 Goodride tires? Sound like a good cheap tire.
I'm sorry, I looked this tire up on ebay. It's a mid price tire.
Good job guys 👍 lm doing trailers in Zimbabwe
Dude just sold me on a PJ trailer and I live in Kentucky
That's Pecatonica! I live on the river up in Wisconsin, didn't know about them and will be checking them out for sure!
I just bought a bobcat and trailer
The trailer is in good shape for the year it was made
If you guys do trade, I will surely buy one from you
Drop the shorts and tennis shoes. Pants and square toe boots Texas style - go a long way. Great trailers!
So for practical use, I like thebone with the solid sides at 20 feet. But I'd love to have the one that wide enough for a half ton to sit on. I wonder if the other are wide enough for a modern f150 to sit on without any rubbing.
Wow such a beautiful presentation
Got to see this trailer in person. its a beauty!! nice video!!
Thanks!
The hydraulic dove tail PJ has is well worth it
Love this sales CONSULTANT. Awesome!
I live in Michigan. Where are my PJ dealers?
I would like to have seen a deckover included
Very nice tour.
Why is no backup light on.? I have to put a backup light on my
1x(4/4/24)…..8:00….16:00……done thank you excellent
What about one for hauling family camping vacation gear
Single axle
Great video, awesome salesman
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. PJ makes great trailers
Thanks!
Great VIDEO!!!!...should have 'at least' given MSRP PRICING
What if I wanna haul a race buggy with my weedeated, zero turns, ladders, blowers and porta potty...?
It’s called Pecatonica
I wonder if they make a tilt bed?
they do
Good video and informative. Thanks for keeping the slap stick comedy to a minimum👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Buy galvanized or be prepared to repaint alot.
Great choices 😊
So can't hey haul logs about 12' maybe 600 - 1000 lbs a piece?
Cant beat a Diamond trailer
Pj really has a lot of options to fit every need
for sure
Didn't show a Deckover trailer.
The sales guy has forgotten more about trailers than I will ever know....
That guy really knows trailers...
Will a 20 ft equipment trailer with an inside width of 79 inches haul a 1/2 ton truck?
How wide is the truck tires I would say yes
It's a shame that they use garbage paint that doesn't last in the northeast or anywhere salt is used for snow melt. I own a dump trailer so I know this for a fact. Otherwise a nicely built trailer.
What no tilt deck trailers?
They have them. Just not for me.
What did you pick?
22' with stowed ramps
Trailer 101. 👍🏻
What’s the price on the 4th one you looked at with the removable sides and the heavy duty full gate with the mesh
Umm call Rick at NITE and ask. He will help you out
This was a great video, but I don't think you should be towing something so heavy it lifts the rear of your truck off the ground.
Sooo, what about those enclosed trailers?
Yes Soon
Slide the ramp over though
Amazing👍
We make trailers real good
Do they come with timber stakes?
Stake pockets, yes

“We did add a winch plate here.. just in case you want to mount a winch... 😏”
Emoji is perfect! Great comment.
The axles are to far back on the 22 footer. To much weight on the truck

How much for the first buggy trailer?
Not sure, call them
I need a trailer capable of hauling 8000 pound tractors some with narrow front ends what do you got
nice
I wish my dealer gave a presentation, instead of doing the car salesman pitch. I would have upgraded axles for more load-bearing...
Okay.....?
Never buy a bumper pull trailer.
Never buy a trailer with 5200 pound axles, ALWAYS UPGRADE TO 7200 pound axles.
You Welcome.
Why ? For most home owners usage... I think its enough ... My compact tractor weight about 2500pounds... And its the heaviest thing I carry
@@YoxStudio
I farm and ranch.
We use larger trailers.
Big tex is the trailer to get
2021 these clowns out here still using ramps on a trailer. Smmfh.
lol I know so dumb right! We use the force now.
That effeminate man with the soda bottle) irritates me

Golly, I learned a lot about trailers from the very start. Don't mind a 20 min video that keeps giving good information. *****
That was 20 minutes ago ? ! It seems so short I wanted more information and others different types of great trailers ‼️🇺🇲🇺🇸✝️🗽⚖️❤️
Guy has game👍Best review I have ever watched and if I lived near you would have bought one just from the care taken to make sure customer is pleased❤️Just listening to his presentation let’s you know they have it together

I am so shocked at how affordable the upgrade/options are. I guess they all add up though.

I like my 22 ft PJ straight deck, I ordered it with rub rails and mounted winch. The only thing I messed up on was next time electric Jack.
Why would you be wanting a electric jacks ? Where are you going to be able to find a electric power plug out on the highway and dirt road 🛣️.😲🤦🇺🇸🗽⚖️❤️
This guy knows how to sell

THE RAMPS WON'T COME OFF?? NOW THAT'S DISAPPOINTING
Thanks for making this video explaining The differences between them and options.
You never tie anything to the rub rail, it is not designed to secure loads to. It is there to protect your tie-downs if you get rubbed or sideswiped.
What most trailer manufacturers do not tell you is that the 83" width on the spec sheet is not overall but inside the fenders.
That is very important when you're trying to figure out if the equipment you are hauling will fit inside the railing of the trailer!!
This is a very informative video and it might save you a lot of grief from getting the wrong trailer!
I know it helped me! Thanks!
Very professional presentation by the salesman!👍
I wonder why a tilt bed wasn’t considered....
Darn shame that he didn't bring a tilt deck trailer for you to look at
yeah i agree-thats what i bought last spring a 20 ft pj tilt happy as all get out with it.
I was waiting for that also
Next set of videos we will
How much is the trailer with the side walls, the side ramp entry, the generator tool box on the front? How long is it? I’m looking for something to haul a car, a mobility scooter, a generator, a flat ocean kayak and a supboard. Easy ramps with no fuss no frustration, no perfect aim 😉
I bought a Sure- trac 16 ‘ with 2’ steel sides 5k axles and 7k jack and got oak flooring instead of pine. I love my trailer
I love this video. The supper buggy hauler is my choice for my needs. Im just not ready for a trailer but when I'm ready to pull the trigger it's the one. Thanks for posting
Thanks! The Buggy Hauler is awesome!
I like the crawler haulers with a camper on the front for multi day trips.
Great presentation, awesome questions
