Upgrade the 20ft deck over to a 25' +5 dovetail gooseneck. Ready to move anything I need now lol. Took awhile to find one and had to drive 3.5 hours one way to get it. They did give me trade in value of what I actually paid for my small trailer.

The Big Tex trailers are pretty nice. Congrats.

They are great for the price point. Few better quality manufacturers but for a 23k rated trailer and only $18,000 not bad. Trailer is 6500lbs empty

My brother has an older 14ft high side Griffin dump trailer. As old as it is and for how much it's been abused it really has held up amazingly well. Aside from the rust on the front of the box. The Big Tex should do awesome for you.

I got it to haul roofing and siding metal panels. Shipping to the job was as much as the trailer + my trade in. Typically we need a longer trailer vs weight but sometimes out panel load is north of 12k

Yep just from fuel prices alone really. It is a 5.5hr drive to the project so I understand why they are charging that much. I am going there regardless so might as well keep something I pay for lol.
