Suretrac trailers. Anyone have one? Any good?

Looking at purchasing a 20ft tilt deck car trailer, 5200# axles. A dealer about 1.5hr away has a Suretrac that fits the bill. Bonus is; its powder coated, power tilt and $100 cheaper than the manual tilts I've been looking at. So naturally I'm looking for the "catch".

Anyone have any experiences with Suretrac? I havn't seen any up here before.

I would buy one!

If their car trailers are anything like their dump trailers, I wouldn't hesitate a minute to buy one.

This last September, we rented a 14 foot Sure-Trac dump trailer out of Innisfail and worked it hard without fail.

The trailer was brand new, they just pulled into the yard with it and it went right onto my truck. Very very well built unit. Pulled like a dream, brakes worked better than most trailers I have pulled. No complaints at all on the quality.

Oh, and how hard was it worked, 780,000 lbs of gravel in 6 days of running. I couldn't get a tandem or pup unit into the area in my yard so we hauled it ourselves. 20 minute turn around from home made quick trips.

Truck got a good workout, all uphill loaded, 14,000 lbs of gravel a load.

Not sure what dealer your heading to, but these guys carry them at either Camrose or Red Deer.............

Thanks for the info. Thats the same dealer I'm looking at in Red Deer. Are they who you rented from? if so how were they to deal with?

I rented the trailer from Double D Rentals in Innisfail.

The name is similar to the trailer dealer your looking at but they are not related in any way.

Double D is just 2 old guys providing rental trailers for a good price. I paid $200 for a 6 day rental of a 14 foot hydraulic dump trailer when everyone else was $400 or more.

Like I mentioned, a great quality trailer. If the time comes to buy a dump trailer, Sure-Trac is what I am getting. Was very impressed with it.
