why do they suck?


Big Tex owned by Ricky Baker tend to pay more attention to making them look pretty than building them well... I have seen several goose necks that have come apart, bent frame rails due to insuffecient matrieal and bracing ect ect... There smaller trailers may be good but I dont like the quailty of thier heavier trailers or thier customer service... Diamond C owned by Mike Crabb, and Parker Performance Trailers owned by Roy Parker build much better trailers... All three of these companies are headquartered in Mt. Pleasant, TX   Diamond C and Parker are off of US 271 Big Tex is on I-30..   Call in and check them all out the final choice is yours, this is just my  :twocents:  and that is all I have to say about that...

It's gonna be a 16 footer with ramps, spare, brakes, brake controller and installation, swapping my 4 flat plug to accept the new trailer plug, a ball hitch for the frame mounted receiver for 2800.  This is for a brand newy with 1 year warranty and weather treated deck.

I looked at them when I bought my trailer.  They look to be decent but at the time when I bought they were a little higher in price.  Which is why I went in another direction.

for the price i wouldn't get them.  they do seem to be be higher then most other companies i see, and the angle iron frame they make it out of doesn't seem strong enough for the price.
