2019 Exiss Express 2-Horse — Should You Buy One?
Typical asking price: $12,000–$20,000. There are 3 high-severity known issues you need to know before handing over a check.
Kestrel Take
A quality all-aluminum two-horse bumper-pull from a respected name — Exiss builds durable, rust-resistant horse trailers that hold value well. Horse trailers add serious safety stakes: floor integrity (rot under mats is deadly for a horse's leg), brakes, bearings, tire age, and structural soundness are all critical. A well-maintained Exiss with a sound floor is a safe, durable trailer; the floor and running-gear inspection is non-negotiable.
What we checked
Not checked against public records
Towable trailers are in NHTSA’s database and we intend to use it. We have not switched it on yet because recall notices name sub-brands and floorplans rather than the model we key on, and folding them in carelessly would put another trailer’s recall on this page. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
Known Issues for the 2019 Exiss Express 2-Horse
Ranked by wallet impact. These are documented, recurring problems — not freak accidents. How we decide that.
The floor is a horse-safety issue — urine and moisture rot the floor/supports under the mats, and a leg through a rotted floor is catastrophic. Pull the mats and inspect the floor thoroughly.
