Switchcars has a lightly used one for sale here somewhere right now. It's listed at a ridiculous price, but in this community prices are only for show, so you can probably get a good deal on it.

Ouch

Trailex dealer demo unit with lesser warranty and still that much!

I know a lot of people hype them but at that asking price you are in ATC and Intech territory new. And in those one can actually stand up without hitting ones head.

I think for what they are, what they allow you to do, and their efficiency of function and fuel, they're hard to beat. BUT if you want to nest in a trailer (i.e. you are sad because you have no where for a 65" LCD to watch Vbox videos, a BBQ, A/C, and a place to store 4 sets of tires) then you need to reconsider your tow vehicle and get a traditional enclosed trailer....and just get it over with.

Agree there is a place for something like this is you like old tech suspension, have to be bend over to remove tires from the rack, like dealing with ramps, etc. The design has long been paid for. A few modern revision are not too much to ask for: such as using a tire size that is easy to locate in the boonies, torsion axles to lower the deck, etc.

It goes well with McPherson Strut suspension, manual transmissions, and 2-wheel steering
