As shown $3500.00?
Not bad, if you could speck out what color, wheels, options.
For $3500 you can buy your own welder and build 2 of them.
Yes well I'm not that skilled...

Brother you could some 500 dollars at your loca college and learn how to weld. The still have the money to build 2 of them. That is an
inflated price for what you get..

Well I saw these posts and got interested, since Denver was only an hour away, I went and saw them for myself. I have been looking at trailers from diferent maufactures for a while and am glad I found out about these.
First, the owner Steve is very knowledgable about trailers, fabrication and the manufaturing process. I was impressed by the his methods and more importantly the results. The website http://rugertrailers.com/ did not do them justice, he has far more options then shown and does offer many color choices as well as the ability to do custom. The design is very functional, quality of the fabrication and attention to detail are outstanding. As well as stucturaly im sure it can take a beating. So needless to say I am impressed. As far as it being overinflated in price I disagree completly. In comparison to the other trailers I have been looking into the prce is very resonable and I think you get more for the money.
Not trying to start an arguement But, If you can build it yourself, by all means do so; Half of the fun is the process of making something yours. But for myself, being someone who does alot of fabrication and maintenance work, I am going to buy one, now that I have seen it, and save the fab work for what I will add to it. It is an excelent platform and it saves the hasstle of inpection and all you have to go through to register it. As far as building two for this price, to the quality I saw today, I would say the average skilled Fabricator would be hard pressed to accomplish that. What less someone with just a welding class under thier belt. Anyway I am including a couple of Pictures that they sent to me that are not on the website, so texasTJ can see as well as anyone else.
The first two he said is a new set up with tailgate and a larger front rack.

It sure looks like a nice set up to me. If you look at some of the other trailer companies, well... some of them are asking ten K for the same rig, so... again looks nice to me!
No idea about the suspension choice, and no price for the "expedition frame".

Nice trailer. Like the t-shirt says, owning a welder doesn't make you a fabricator.![]()

It's not about the truck and it is not about the distance traveled. Get out there with whatever you have, meet people and see things. Push the envelope of your comfort zone and live.
It seems priced fair, to me. There is more to building the trailer that you have to take into consideration. the overhead, the work force, the equipment, the insurance, costs of shipping and all goes into every trailer. Price really seems good, I have never seen one so could not speculate on the quality, but from the pictures, the guy seems to know what he is doing.
I dont remember how much extra he said the extended frame was but when I actualy start to price one out for me I will post. The suspension was leafs, He had a trailing arm set up in development but my personal preferance is leafs.
