Featherlite TrailersReviews of fthr.com

Just bought my 5th car trailer. Love them. although disappointed to find that my "aluminum car trailer" has a steel plate down the inside that rusts. I bought it because it wouldn't rust..hmm

Great trailer and service . Rubber mats that where installed are terrible. Very slippery . I took them out

The featherlite topper is very well constructed, and incredibly durable. I have taken this box on several trips to pick up lambs and it makes it so much easier then pulling a trailer. The only down side to the featherlite topper is that it does not have a locking system on the back gate, and the divider gate has no way to secure it in the open position. I believe that if you correct these two issues the system would be perfect.

Very good trailer, the only thing i would have liked and notice after usine it couples of time are : 1. should have used a pillow bearing to hold the shaft that rotate the jack of the trailer instead of a sleeve. 2. There is nothing to tie a cow inside. I had to weld some bracket to be able to tie a cow with a leach. 3. One very good point, on my fifthweel 16 foots trailer, there is no mechanical inspection to be done in quebec province.

I'm giving you 4 stars because when we called to get a quote on Slats for our new trailer, the price was very high. I am disappointed that you all charge that much and we're having to go elsewhere.

I have been looking at trailers for more than 20 years. I've had a few, and finally bought the one I wanted from Featherlite. I spent more, and was really ok with that based on getting a quality product. I must say, I was not let down with all the characteristics of the trailer's overall performance and quality. However, on the trip home from the dealer the back door spring completely un-spooled, and I was left with a non-functional door. Having only towed this brand new trailer 150 miles, I was surprised. Things happen. I e-mailed the dealer, and this is where things go wrong. I made them aware of the issue and that I wanted to have a garage door company rewind the door, being the closest dealer to me is 2 hours away. I got a return e-mail stating they had notified the factory of the problem and they were sorry for the issue. No offer to help me out in the repair, and no mention of helping me out with the repair bill on a new trailer that cost me $1500 more than the competitive unit from another manufacturer. I hope my long term dream of owning the best trailer wont be tainted by the bitter pill of having to fix my brand new unit after 150 miles of towing it home. I was disappointed with that part of the deal....I guess it's all about the $$$$...Too bad....

I would have given 5 stars but the only thing I am unhappy with is the saddle rack and bridle hook package I added. If I would have known the bridle hooks were plastic I would have built my own so they would last! And the saddle rack is also very cheap built, it comes unlatched after goin on a dirt road, and also the saddles don’t fit very well, you scratch your horn trying to get it on the rack all the way. I am very satisfied with the rest of the trailer it seems very well built and is in style going down the road.

Trailer is great except for the safety latch on the back door....within first month of getting the trailer home the weld on the safety latch cracked and the cattle slammed the door open almost taking out my hired hand. The salesman had actually focused on the safety latch and the reinforced welds but they failed.
