In search of a used open race trailer

PM me if you or a friend have one for sale. I finally have some cash in hand and can't seem to find a decent used one anywhere. I'm having troubles justifying buying a brand new one when I only hit the track a few times a year. I'd like to avoid trailers with a wood deck and I'd like to have brakes on both axles. 18-20 foot would also be nice.
Thanks

Good Luck.

Trailers, here anyhow, hold their value like you wouldn't believe. Some sellers even think they appreaciate in value .

Seriously, i can buy a new one, nothing fancy, but with the dropped beaver tail, for $2500. I have been looking for a used one for a year now and when thay do come up, they're always more than a new one .

From what I have seen in used open trailers, the sellers either want a lot of money (IMO) or they are real projects needing hundreds of dollars of work. It is hard to find a good one at a reasonable price. Don't rush it or you will over pay. A few hundred more for a new one might be worth it.

Pay special attention to tires (size, load rating, condition). It could save you hundreds if you can look at the brakes before buying, to see if it needs new hardware ($$$).

I bought a brand new 16'long, full steel floor and 4 wheel brakes for $1995.

i bought a 22 ft open with a 18 ft gravity tilt bed and 4 ft front which fits a 4 wheeler nicely for $2600 and it might be for sale

but it is a wood deck with brakes on one axle

I purchased a new ET154B-102 last fall when I did some downsizing, Im very happy with it and Check out the price! you get an extra 50 bucks off for cash.

2 summers ago I bought a tilt bed open trailer, full deck.

Last summer I sold the car and put it up for sale for more than I paid for it. I had people tripping over themselves. I had someone will full cash here the next day.

I bought it an hour away, all they had to do was a little homework. I was actually bummed I didnt ask more, with the way people were acting.

I bought this tilt trailer from a neighbor a couple years ago. He had it sitting in his front yard for months. Then I needed a open trailer and called him to see if he still had it, he did. He told me he bought it new for like $3600. and was asking 2700. I offered 2300 bucks and he called me the next day and said he would take it.

I didn't know anything about open trailers but I got lucky that it was a tilt. I really like the fact that I don't have deal with ramps. It's very quick and easy to unload.

It's made by some shop called J&B trailers I beleive somewhere in Ohio.


Just got back from a 5000 mile trip and the trailer or tires never let me down.

NICE TOW RIG!!!!!

Thanks, a little overkill for the trailer huh... lol
Another pic of the trailer, go tilt. I don't see any draw backs over ramps, are there? The doors on everything I hauled so far has cleared the trailer fenders, they do come off with hand knobs on threaded fastners.
