PJ trailer pricing??

[Fordman1981]

I'm about to order a trailer and have looked at the PJ trailers the one I'm looking at is the HD deckover Tilt (T9) has anyone else priced one of these? Here is a link to the one I'm looking at. http://www.pjtrailers.com/brochures/T9.pdf They said the trailer was $9,500.00 retail and would sale for $8,600.00. Does this sound like a fair deal?

Also if anyone else has suggestions on other brands I'm open to looking around.

Are you working with a local dealer or factory direct?

I've looked over a lot of the PJ's at two different dealers. Overall they look like a pretty decent trailer, good value for the price. I did see a few where I wasn't very impressed, but maybe the new guy in the shop welded those ones up. I plan on buying a 20 foot 14K lowboy soon.

One thing I did notice was that some of the 14K dumper trailers used 7K equalizers for some reason, not that you are buying a dumper but it was an observation nonetheless.

Thanks for the reply they had a tilt bumper pull on the lot but I want a gooseneck so i can tow more. I thought this trailer would work good for my needs to haul my 69 mach 1 if needed or haul my L4400 or my tracked skid steer. Do you think the price of $8,600.00 is a fair price?

I'm working with a dealer don't know if you can buy direct from pj trailers.

I typically use this site as a price guide. Never been there, but they have been in biz for a while. They have tilt deckovers starting at $6,600 and up. If you're looking for a goose neck, that $8,600 is about right.

Hard to say on the price. I didn't see any on ebay or equipment trader that are gooseneck deckover tilts. Personally I don't care much for the tilt's, I like the simplicity of the regular trailer (not to mention the cheaper cost)

Here is a lowboy gooseneck tilt, they are asking $6600.

Yeah I like a standard trailer for most things too. The reason I'm going with a deck over tilt is mostly for ease of loading the mach 1. I'm trying to get 1 trailer for many uses.

That is going to be one steep deck angle. If the tires are wet or even damp forget about it.

They claim a 17 degree deck angle on all lengths. 17 degrees don't seem too bad but I may be wrong.

Ended up ordering the T9 HD deckover tilt 24' Gooseneck. They have to build it and should get it in on their next shipment to the dealer. I'm also putting a B&W hitch in to pull it with. Here's a link to the Hitch if anyone is interested. Gooseneck Hitch | B & W Trailer Hitches

Congratulations. Nice trailer and nice hitch!

Thanks gumshu I'll post pics when the trailer comes in but it'll probably be 4 to 6 weeks before it gets here.
