I might well be wrong, but I don't think they have a dealer network. Assume you've visited their website ... it's something tricky like trailex.com.

I just used the website to decide what I wanted and then called the guys out in Ohio (they are very helpful) to order it. Trailex delivered the trailer to me.

Many of us in NNJR Region of PCA have purchased from Will DiGiovanni at Precision Motorsports Racing in Califon, NJ. You can reach him at 908-832-6572.

Most others in the area are focused on boat trailers and don't know much about the car carriers.

Many buy direct from Trailex also. Using a dealer can save money on shipping, as they often place several orders at once and piggy-back ship, and on parts and service later.

I second the vote for Will at PMR, in Califon, NJ. Remember, you may need special axle spacing depending on your ride. Good Luck.

I don't remember the exact amount they charged for delivery ... it's been a few years, but what happened is a friend and I each ordered exactly identical trailers ... Trailex bolted one up on top of the other and trailered both to us behind a Hummer ... of all things. I think my share may have been about $200-300.

I'm sure the other guys are right. I didn't have a dealer nearby that handled Trailex.

Good luck. ps: Love the Trailex ... have never had a problem with it.

Bull and I seem to have the same trailer. With the tire rack, it's about 875 lbs. Real easy to pull with my '96 Tahoe.

You must keep yours clean at that weight!
