Is that your son's Dodge 5500? It's a nice truck!

Yes, thanks. He bought it used, an '18 model w/4.44 gears. Here is a picture of his fleet of Ram cab chassis trucks, all have a trailer attached. He is a Dodge/Ram guy, so am I

Real nice trailer!

Thanks, I think they build a fine flatbed but they are expensive. Here are some close ups of his trailer. Mine will be very similar but with singles and 4' shorter.

Very definitely a nice fleet!

They build a very good trailer. I bought mine in '99. I'm only 45 miles from the factory so I was able to see it being built. Many features I'd like to have now like the lower profile and mega ramps but my trailer still does everything I need it to do.

The paint is still looking fine for a 21 year old trailer. It also appears to be high GVW with the frame bridge. I like the old White, cool truck. Note the paint fade on my 8 year old (at the time) X-CEL.

It's not the original paint. I've re-floored and painted it twice since I've had it. It has 12,000# axles and a 24,000# GVWR.

I went ahead and placed the order today. Tomorrow is the last day to order for this year, so, due to a price increase next year, I moved on it.

Just checked DC's web site, my trailers MSRP went up $800 this year or 4%. I really like their web site, I think it is the only one I have seen that prices the trailers and some options. Other than manufacturers that sell direct, it is a nice feature. The hydraulic jack option is $2700...I didn't buy it

Man I wish I had hydraulic jacks on the Kaufman.
I promised myself I would buy hydraulic jacks. Kaufman doesn’t offer on this size trailer.
It has the 2 speeders on it, but still a hassle.

BOO HOO.....

WTF?
Ever load & unload a trailer like that 3-4 times in a day. It sucks!
