My apologies for posting without reading through everything. So I will keep it short. I did own a Gatormade GN trailer. I absolutely loved it EXEPT for the cheap wiring connectors. But I addressed that when I first got it home, never had any issues, and would buy another one without hesitation.
GOOD LUCK!
GOOD LUCK!
I have not owned a Gatormade trailer, but have heard they improved quality.
I ended up buying a Titan trailer, good quality & heavy duty.

MasseyWV do you own a gatormade? if not, D*mn! shut up! your going off of hear say. look at what the guy had to say. he had some small issues with his but after a year it is still solid. seems like you are the one with an agenda you work for a different trailer company? it sure seems like it.
i am an owner of a 16ft 16k gooseneck dump. It is amazing. If you want to stay in the past and listen to people about their bad experiences and only go off that then your closed mined. Every company has to start somewhere. No matter what the business is there are going to be bad experiences no matter what. You’re going off of performance from years ago. If that is the case I’m going to make a post against ford. The model T only has 20 hp and a top speed of 30mph. that is too slow why would anyone buy a ford. Don’t make any sense when I put it that way does it. Judging a company in the present biased on the far past.
I’m a firefighter and I own an excavation business. I do a lot of hauling. I have had this trailer for 4 months now. I love it. It is awesome. I did have a problem with an axel and they sent me a new one. No problems, no questions asked. The axel failed because of my own stupidity. They took care of me. They are a great company to do business with. I have owned cornpro, kaufman, Titan, and others. Nothing against them they were good trailers, but gator made is very well engineered. Everything was very well thought out. The other ones I have own there is always something that could have been thought out better or better designed. As of yet I have not found a thing that I feel could be better designed.
If you don’t want a gatormade then don’t buy one. I don’t care. Ill I can say is how my experience has been. I’m not knocking other trailer manufactures but the facts are black and white. They powder coat not automotive pain. They use heavier gauge steal that anyone else. To me it just makes sense. The main complain was the paint. They don’t paint anymore. The other is the type of wire connectors. REALLY? The F’ing wire connectors? Come on. If that is all you have to complain about then they are doing well. If you don’t like them go buy some other trailer but don’t be so overbearing to people that are coming here for facts and real reviews.
If you are looking for one and are on the fence about which one to get my opinion is gatormade. I read all the crap that these guys put on here and decided to overlook it and I’m glad I did. The sales men are great. Sid Mosley was who took care of me. He gave me his personal cell number and answered me in a timely manner if he didn’t answer at the time I called. The level of professionalism is outstanding. They have a great facility and are all very polite and bend over backwards to help you even after the sale. Those of you looking to buy, good luck. I hope this has helped.

You catagorize TBN members experience with Gatormade as "crap" in your first post, you lose respect.
You couldn't be more transparent if you tried, and frankly you're the one who needs to shut up! I said it once (you even quoted it), and I'll say it again...
New member + First post raving about Gatormade = Agenda?
In fact, I think you and the last person (freighthaulerjim) who basically did the same thing (defending Gatormade with their first post), are in fact the same person, or it sure looks that way. The posts you quoted were my responses to freighthaulerjim, plus Terra Haute, Indiana and Coal Bluff, Indiana are less than 20 miles apart according to Google Maps.
Seriously, could you have at least made it a little less obvious? :laughing:

I found this forum while I was searching for Gatormade reviews, before purchasing my 8.5x20. Maybe that guy did also? I thought I was the biggest Gatormade apologist / defender / whatever on this forum until I saw that dude's posting!
Possibly, or they could be one of those paid reviewers who goes around the internet posting "positive" things about a company to boost sales. It's one of the reasons I never trust positive reviews, and tend to only look at negative reviews to try and determine if there is a consistent pattern of problems.
