2019 Sure-Trac 7x14 Dump — Should You Buy One?
Typical asking price: $7,000–$11,000. There are 2 high-severity known issues you need to know before handing over a check.
Kestrel Take
A tandem-axle dump trailer for hauling and dumping dirt, gravel, and debris — Sure-Trac builds a quality dump trailer, but a dump adds a hydraulic system and battery to the usual trailer inspection. Verify the hydraulic pump/cylinder, battery/charging, brakes, and bearings, and check the box and frame for overload damage. A well-maintained Sure-Trac dump is a hugely useful workhorse; the hydraulics and running gear are the key checks.
