Triton TC128

[V-Man]

There aren't many reviews of these out there, so I thought I'd share.

I've been towing a two place open with a 1/2 ton for many years. After getting new sleds this year I decided they needed a better home, but wasn't interested in buying a bigger truck.

At 995lbs the TC128 feels lighter than my old steel open 2 plance when I move it around by hand in the driveway. Towing at 70mph on the freeway, and up the hills to the pass, was a breeze. I don't notice any difference between it and my open trailer.

The trailer appears to be very well built and I'm impressed with their attention to detail. It's clear that Triton understands the little things and didn't skimp out on this lower end trailer.

It does have a low ceiling height (63"), but loading up while sitting down worked just fine. This clearly isn't a trailer you're going to hang out in for extended periods of time, but this hybrid concept of a clamshell w/ a real back door ramp is just the ticket for smaller tow vehicles.

I'm very impressed so far and give it two thumbs up!

Thanks v-man. I just went through the whole trailer dilemma. My ford f-150 Harley davidson edition only has a towing capacity of 5100 lbs (triton 5.4 and 3.73 rear end). I wanted a bigger trailer but just knew that what ever I got it would struggle with in the mountains. I looked very closely at triton tc series. I ended up with a triton clamshell just based on price an the fact that it is over a foot shorter in height. Good to hear they tow well and you are happy. What is your tow vehicle and engine?
Can't go wrong with a triton!

I'm driving a 2009 RAM 1500 w/ the 5.7L engine. I think it's rated for around7,500lbs, but towing my 4,000lb travel trailer (with brakes and load distribution hitch) isn't fun. On snowy roads I'd never tow something that heavy with with this truck. Power isn't the issue but it just feels like it's getting pushed around too much. That's what had me worried going with something enclosed. I'm relieved I can hardly tell the TC128 is behind me.
