How can they sell them so cheap? Are they just huge PoS?

It's the owners that suck. From everything I have read on them they are huge douches.

I bought one from them 2 years ago. No issues here. I bought one that was already available so I can't say anything about timeframe. The guy that sold it to me was nice.

Don't know about Proride, but if you're looking for a recommendation, Mike Gerald's trailers are great. Heard great things about them and bought one last year. High quality trailer

Don't see how you could use the guy after all the stuff written about him on the sportsman. Multiple people having the same awful experience. Too much bullshite to deal with for a trailer. As I remember it, the sportsman even dropped him as a sponsor. I think some people had to take him to court.

May all just be e badasses on the sportsman talking trash, but it was a lot of trash. Can't say I remember reading anything good.

They used to advertise them heavy in La Sportsman. I checked into them but they seemed a bit light for why I was looking for. Mike Gerald's is top notch and has a huge selection. I ended up ordering a trailer from C&R auto in Woodville ms. They are awesome to deal with and can get you exactly what you want. I sketched mine out and they had it built. It took 4 weeks as they promised. They are about 2 miles north of Illusions on 61.

Well Shite... I bought one from him back in June. Walked in and got what I wanted in about 30 mins total. Nice guy, Great Trailer.... But I still have not received the plate and registration that was purchased. Didnt know that this is a common issue. Guess I will call them today.

with the way everyone says he puts off getting their sales tax and registration paid it sounds like this guy is having some working capital issues and is pushing his payables out as far as he can.

Seems like the business might be struggling financially. Or the guy is just a piece of shite and hopes his customers don't remember they need a license plate and registration and pockets the money.

Stay away from Proride. The owner is a thief and the trailers are built cheaply.

Not sure if they still do trailers anymore, but we got our trailer, custom, from Bellue's Cajun Cuisine off Scenic Hwy, and they did an awesome job. It's probably 12 years old, and still in awesome shape, even with heavy use from when my older brother cut yards in high school, then was passed down to me to cut yards in I was in high school.
