First, it turned out that in addition to the infection I originally had (or instead of...not really sure), I ended up with the Flu (not the intestinal type...the big boy version) and a Strep infection all at the same time. Had to go into an urgent care place on Saturday for a new round of stuff and an IV for moderate dehydration. SWEEEET! It was one HECK of a weekend!

To Mr. Mowpower: It seems that when you get into some 7,000# trailers and nearly all 10,000# trailers, the combination of the bigger steel, larger wheels, and heavier suspension drives the deck height up. As a result, you either incoorporate a dovetail, have impossibly long ramps, or have an untenable breakover at the top of shorter ramps.

While you have your choice of flat with pullouts or ramps or whatever combination in 7,000#, my dealership only has dovetails with folding ramps for everything larger. Don't know if that's the norm, but it makes sense considering what you're probably going to be loading on it.
