These guys and their similar posts about Xtra Tuff were booted from from the tractor site that starts with a ""Y and a "T" about a week ago. The same crapola.

Posts like the replies means I'll cross that vendor off my list.

It's too bad things like this are allowed to happen. They could be excellent trailers, especially for the price, or they could be junk, but you'll never know from most internet reviews.

You could have one disgruntled customer, an employee you fired or even a competitor posting negatives and it can seriously damage your reputation and business. So then what do you do. Practice some damage control by asking some of your satisfid customers to post rebuttals? Post some compliments you've gotten from real satisfied customers? The internet is a tough place for a small business.

It's been said on here before about degrees of trailer quality, go and look at the trailer in person and judge for yourself. I would say if you haven't purchased a trailer in the meantime and have the time to swing buy their place, go and look and judge for yourself if you think you can save considerable $$ and the quality is what you're looking for.

The problem is that just with the cost of fuel and tires even in my TDI it's about $50 and 4 or 5 hours to "swing by". Maybe if I can get more reports that seem unbiased it would be worth it.

newbury, xtra tuff is a dealer who sells primarily Covered Wagon trailers out of Fitzgerald GA. They advertise they are the factory but to my knowledge they don't manufacture trailers themselves. Covered Wagon has been in existence for about two maybe three years. They are a decent economy line trailer. With any trailer manufacturer, the quality goes to the core of their manufacturing principles. Trailers are a HIGHLY manual assembly process it's nothing like automotive or equipment manufacturing. I speak from experience as I was the general manager for one of Universal Trailer Corporation plant in GA (UTC manufactures Haulmark and Wells Cargo enclosed trailers.... they also produce Horse and livestock trailers Exiss/Sooner and Featherlite). I now own my own retail business focused on trailer sales. The name of my company is Trailer Nation (trailernation.com). Feel free to look at our website and if you would like to contact us, I would be glad to explain one-on-one what to look for when purchasing a trailer. It is critical the trailer is built with it's end use in mind especially when it comes to equipment hauling and frequent use. I am passionate about being sure the customer gets what they want but with price in mind that often creates some level of conflict. I am currently in the process of developing a comparison web site for trailer manufacturing that helps explain some of the critical difference in trailer manufacturing to help the consumer understand what might be critical for their application. Hope this helps a little and best of luck in your pursuit.

newbury, no experience with Xtra Tuff Trailers, but if you live anywhere near Petersburg, VA google 460 trailer sales. Take a look at the Arising trailers they sell. I have an 8x20 and you won't find a much better trailer for a very reasonable price. I have had zero issues with mine. Ask for Mac.

I recently purchased a xtra tuff trailer back in June of this year i have to say i am very pleased with it. It is a 7x18 that we use to haul our polaris ranger,the trailer has been perfect. When we went to pick it up we had a small wiring problem but they had me fixed and road ready with in 30 minutes. The people were very friendly and while waiting i had a great talk with the owner who does some hobby farming as well. The whole experince was great,I saw this forum the other day and noticed Xtra Tuff Trailer reviews upon seeing 1pooldiggers post i decided to create myself an account and speak on my friends in Eastman Ga's behalf they build a quality trailer at a great price from my experience and I hate to see someone bashing them

My husband and I are definitely on a mission. He found a couple of really bad comments about Xtra Tuff. It is just plain wrong to judge a company on one or two disgruntled people's opinions. I was led to this site since it showed reviews for this company. We have two trailers we bought from them in 2011. One is a vending and the other is a concession. We have planned to buy our third trailer from them the first of the year. I am not here to run down other trailer companies, but we have had two very poor trailers. A local man whom we know showed us his Xtra Tuff trailer and we were able to see the difference especially by looking at the interior. The interior of the trailer we had been using was a mess of staples, loosly hanging wires, and deteriorating wall covering. The Xtra Tuff trailer seemed to be well-built, so we gave them a call. Nice salepeople who knew what they were talking about. We both definitely recommend Xtra Tuff. And, yes, we own a John Deere. It's older, but that just isn't a term used by tractor owners...our tractor is "experienced."

We just read this post and it amazes us how you have the nerve to advertise in a forum. Isn't there enough advertising? If you own an Xtra Tuff trailer, then talk about it from your experience. Don't make wild accusations.
