Bought a 2019 Cargo Express 7x20 Pro Series enclosed trailer. Overall I'm happy. For their "Pro Series" I think it lacks a little. 5200lb axles are fine. Spacing of 16" on center for floors and walls is fine. 24" ceiling bows. All 1" square tube for walls and ceiling bows. Floor seems okay at 3/4" and walls at 3/8". Interior lights finicky. Work with some trucks. Not on others. Could be truck issue. Tires are new and rims are fine. Latches for doors seem good and the clasp to hold open side door is stout. Roof is not flat and I like the looks of it so far. The LED lights are over the top impressive. Overall I think it will hold up.
Issues? Had a leak in the roof. Appears they missed a 2" section of seam with the caulk. Dealer never questioned it. I called. They said "You are our first warranty issue. Tell us what you want to make it right." Hard to complain about our local dealer service. On the interior there were a couple bolts partially drilled in on angles. We removed to find them securing nothing. Makes me wonder how many other bolts completely missed the studs. Piece of trim on the back is coming off and I've pulled the trailer around 25 miles making 4 stops. Appears they broke off bolts while installing and left them as is. The silicone is peeling up because of it already. I'm guessing typical lower wage "Not my trailer" attitude workers is the issue. Likely have similar issues anywhere you buy a trailer.
The INSL X Sure Step paint is phenomenal. I'm over the top impressed. Now to see how it withholds the test of time. Major difference in the footing. Once wet I don't see slippage issues.
The Buyers string trimmer racks, gas can racks, and trimmer spool holder seem adequate for commercial usage. The lag bolts supplied flat out suck. We pre-drilled the holes to secure accessories and the supplied bolts wouldn't go thru 1" square tube without rounding off the threads. We had to use our own. Again, at the price point I am pleased. Need to see how they hold up.
Got our lettering done as well.
