FEATHERLITE Trailer Pricing and Experience

Larry Fulton · 07-17-2010, 09:45 AM

We are looking to purchase a New Featherlite Enclosed Trailer (20' to 24' box) and would appreciate your help on pricing and your opinions of quality and experience of use with this brand.

**I've found a few NEW left over 2008's with orig. msrp in the $16,000 - $17,000 range...

Are there any Factory Incentives available to the dealer or purchaser on these hold overs?

And what is the best discount / price I should expect with this brand?

Thank You!

Larry, I can only give you my experience. I bought a 24' Featherlite low roof aerodine front version in March of '04. The very next week I towed to the Cajun SportsNats in LA. and have never looked back since! It is the finest trailer I have ever owned and I've had a few! The other aluminum trailers can not compare as far as quality. I got the 5200 lb. axles and 16' wheels, also the extruded aluminum floors. If I remember correctly, I paid about $13 grand. The quality is top notch! Jim

Hey Larry,
We have 2 Featherlights and 2 T&E's at my work, they are used frequently, much more than any race schedule. We have experienced cracking in the upper corners of the rear door area on both Featherlights. My suggestion would be to call Todd or Earl at T&E, they have been competitive with Featherlight pricing in the past.

See you at the races,

Wayne is right on about Earl and Todd I have bought over 10 units of his and 3 Featherlites in the last 20 yearls by Far the best unints have been T&E 's. The Featherlites had the tounge come close to faliing off, when they welded the tounge on it created a stress riser along the weld and cracked frame rails, they did repair them even come and got them hauled them back to Iowa repaired them anf returned them to Michigian, no charge but still a pain. Earl and Todd are first class to deal with they are racers.
