Location: Missouri | Thanks all. Anyone had a SpeciAlite? Recommend or no?
I like that I can get one with the comfort package and a mid tack for a pretty reasonable price. So I have been eyeballing them.
My husband needs a diff tractor before I go buying a horse trailer, but thought ud put out feelers and see what everyone thought. I very rarely see them around here. |

| Loved my all steel LQ. It was awesome. The steel with aluminum skin... not so much. They fall apart in 5 years. Latches, struts, etc. |

| I’ve known more people with Titans thanks Trails West - but everyone seems to like them. I know my Titan held its value very well and was a great little get around trailer. I’d consider another one if it suited my needs. |

I was looking at their website and it says the Classics are steel frame aluminum skin....I wonder if they changed something? If so, boo. :( |

The all steel LQ we bought in 2009 or so. Traded it off for two of the aluminum skin in 2012 when our daughter graduated. Hopefully they’ve improved them. |

I'd really like a comfort package with a side tack. But it looks like all of those are steel frame aluminum skin. :( |

Location: Missouri | Another question for those of you who've had one....can we talk about how much these suckers weigh? Like, a 3 horse gooseneck w/ comfort package and side tack, I'm sure I can pull w/ an F350. But, a 4 horse in the same trailer, am I going to need a dually for that? Bc that's soooo not going to happen. Something I'd need to consider. |

| I have had 3 of them now. Still currently own two. A 40' living quarters with mid-tack and one of their Hot Shot combos. Absolutely LOVE them! I had a summer of hell with tires and blew the fender off of one side after two tires went and called up the factory in Preston, ID and asked if we could pick one up on our way through to visit family and they were more than accommodating for us to do that. Wouldn't have anything but (short of winning one!) |

Was your LQ all steel or steel frame with alum skin? |

Good to know. Thank you! I have no intention of getting a full LQ, but I'd like to have the option to get a 4 horse if I decided I "needed" one without having to get another truck. |
