Car Trailer dealers, Spokane, Seattle, or North Idaho Area? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ljbear · 07-20-2003, 11:52 AM

This is a strange request, so I'll try to explain. I recently sold my trailer and need to replace it right away. I need to haul a vehicle home from the Seattle area the last week of July. If possible I'd like to find a trailer up in Northern Idaho, or somewhere along the 90 corridor between Spokane and Seattle. I would probably even consider something East as far as Missoula. I have to take a dog up to Libby, MT on the trip and I'd rather not pull an empty trailer all the way up. I'm looking for about an 18' open deck trailer, with ramps, brakes, breakaway, and would prefer a metal deck. I tried the online yellow pages but had no luck. Does anyone know of anything in the area? How about a Featherlite dealer up that way? I like the aluminum model they offer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I love those aluminum trailers as well. But for the cost of one of those bad boys I could buy a reasonble enclosed trailer!! Silly I think to spend more then $2k on an open car trailer. But I have seen some of those tilt bed stainless steel trailers go for almost 10,000 dollars! WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE!?!?!? HUH?!?!? hahahahah

There is a place called freeway trailers in fife just off I-5 between seattle and tacoma, I dont know much about them though.

There is one just off 167 in South Seattle on the way to I-90 with nice trailers for about $2000. They are all steel however. I also saw a very nice aluminum trailer dealer with some awesome tilt beds but I was afraid to ask the price...LOL! Let me know if you need some help. Which weekend...July 26-27?

Yeah I asked pricing on some stainless steel tilt bed trailers and man I about fell out of my chair! The cheapest one they had was a 16' that ran about 5,000. I was like wha!?!? I can get an enclosed trailer for that kind money! Nice trailers tho!

crazy4chevys, is Milton near Fife? I found a web page for Freeway Trailer Sales in Milton with some nice trailers.

progress, could you try and get a name for the trailer places you mentioned? Aluminum is my first choice, especially a tilt bed. Also, I'll probably be up mid week, after the 28th.

Thanks

Anyone know of a Featherlite dealer up in the NW? I've tried their web site for a search but it doesn't work.
