What Our Customers Are Saying
“I travel a lot and see these trailers everywhere!!! Definitely an eye catcher!! BEST around! Their trailers are truly GATOR TUFF!!”
– Carla H.
“Highly recommend! We bought a 7.5×14 utility for one of our mowing crews and it gets used everyday. Powder-coating is really nice and the tailgate assist is a dream. Had a small issue about 3 weeks in but the dealer and company got it all fixed up right away.”
– JRI Landscaping
“Just bought this one as my first gooseneck trailer. After a lot of research Gatormade seems to be the best bang for your buck. You’re not paying much if any more than you would for a competitor and it’s heavier built. I bought this one used but when I was talking to them about a new one they were eager to answer any questions I had. So far they will be my go to on heavyweight trailers.”
– Ralph H.

“I bought my first Gatormade trailer 19 years ago it is a 16+2 foot car trailer has been in parades and hauled cars all over the US . And still in great shape. Just bought my 12 foot utility trailer about a year ago been a great trailer love the spring assist gate. Great people to deal with.”
– Charles H.
“We got our Gatormade in 2017. It is a fantastic trailer, the customer service was great. I would with out a doubt buy another Gatormade trailer if I needed one. Whether it’s been hauling hay, tractors, or other farm equipment, it’s never failed. I like the wide ramps, self cleaning dove tail, and the front steps the best, in terms of features. Those seem like little things, but it’s those type things that make the trailer enjoyable to use.”
– Daniel W.
“Tim Francis at Marietta, GA facility really knows his stuff. I visited Gatormade 1st and then 3 other manufacturers and I came back to Gatormade. The trailers are just a bit heavier duty and have several features you would miss if you did not take the time to learn from Tim.”
– Charlie Lovelace
“Was in need of a trailer that would allow me to trailer my motorcycle to enjoy vacation and allow me to take my family with me. I had settled on a local company with a average product that wasn’t what I exactly wanted and my wife found Gatormade online made a call got some questions answered and we picked it up that weekend. Gatormade trailer by far was worth the drive because the trailer build quality and customer service prior to pickup was fantastic now 3 years old I would buy another in a heartbeat.”
– Paul C.
