Too lightweight/small. Looks like a custom order and the buyer went missing....
Its strange how these manufacturers pick and chose what they send to their dealers. Lets face it, small, lighter trailers are the mainstay of their business. I bet what I'm looking for is about 1 in 500 trailers they build.

So a little update to the other updates :laughing:
Diamond C is OUT
Their 8-foot DOD is only 92 inches inside.
Load Trail appears to be OUT as well. All their dealers are CLUELESS.

That leaves a 16k Sure Trac or wait until next summer when PJ resumes building DOD?s with 3 8k axles if I want 96? CLEAR inside width.

Sure Trac dealer says they can re-rate trailer to ~18K, but sticker on trailer does not get changed. Stays 16K. I would receive new registration from PA indicating 18K.

Agree.
If the only thing holding you back on a LoadTrail is inept dealers have you talked to Marshall Machinery up in Honesdale? I bought a LoadTrail there in 2004. You'd think with all their Ag experience over several decades someone there should be on the ball.

Guess it depends where you are, you can up register for some things in VA, my truck is registered for 1k over its door sticker.

As long as the axles aren't overloaded and your registered for it (i.e. paying them)then they don't really care.
