trailers dont depreciate like trucks do. you two are being wise businessmen by running 6.5L's pulling new trailers! :thumbsup:
A buddy of mine and dad's has a lucky habit of getting nearly what he paid back out of his tandem dually gooseneck flatbeds. IMO just makes sense to keep trailers current. heck, even my cheap old man couldnt pass up a new pair of trailers a couple years ago. one was a demo, one an old stock, both perfect for what we do, but worthless for most folks, (really long, and bumper pull, with straight tails, no dovetail. ) so they were priced right at years end. got two trailers for less than most pay for 1 heavier one.
Plus, IMO its alot better to have a nice trailer behind a decent pickup, rather than some old rusty broke up POS behind a new shiny truck. I allways get a kick seeing the big shiny lifted powerstrokes pulling a dumpy rusted out pickup box trailer or a wreck of a car trailer.
