Ill tell you my story real quick but i seemed to be the norm and not the exemption.
DO NOT BUY A GATORMADE TRAILER. In my opinion, not only are they built with very poor quality but are unsafe to haul with. I've owned a 26' dual tandem gooseneck now for 4 years, i bought it new from the factory in KY. I have now spent more in repairs on this trailer than it initially cost me to buy ($9,200). The axles were not installed correctly from the factory which has now caused me 4 wheel bearings, an axle, and 12 worn tires. I was going down the highway once at 65 MPH with a bulldozer loaded on when a wheel bearing blew apart, blew the tires out, and almost caused a massive accident. The latest incident could have been devastating. The neck of the gooseneck has almost completely broken off from the rest of the trailer. Luckily we were in the parking lot and not going down the road.
Heres the pics
To me though, the worst part about it all, is Gatormades customer care, or more accurately lack there of. Absolutely horrible. Gatormade could care less about these issues and the money and down time its cost me.
SO, stay away from Gatormade at all cost.
