Location: 99320 | I'm looking at a Featherlite, manufacture date is 2000, but I believe the trailer date is 2001. Was this a good manufacture time for Featherlite? I'm not sure what the model number is, but it's a four horse with weekender living quarters and rear tack. There's stainless steel cladding on the sides and nose. Thanks! |

Location: Minnesota | We had an 02' model 8541. Was a good solid trailer and wouldn't hesitate to buy another Featherlite. |

Location: Maryland | I have a 2000 3 horse with a weekender package. Best trailer I've owned. Several friends have offered to buy it from me unsolicited. |

Location: MT | We had a 97 with a weekender that we figured almost had 250 miles on it before we traded it off...it went to every roping,rodeo or any where we took our horses because it we only had 1 other trailer at the time. We now have a 05 with a full lq in it that is also outstanding.
I don't think that the year or the model matters all the trailers are of oustanding quality. |

Location: MA | My experience has been overall good with Featherlight. But check the frame beams I had a crack in mine right under where the horses back feet go, and had to have it repaired. Also, if ever you need an replacement axle,from rust out, it is more to replace then a steel trailer where it can be welded on. Because of aluminum construction, the axle must be welded to steel plates then bolted to the trailer.

Location: Ingalls, Ks | FYI both of my Featherlites had bolt on axles, as I raised one of them myself and I wouldn't have done it if I would have had to torch and grind the axles off. I've done the torch and grind axle replacement and it's no fun no matter how much beer you have on hand!!!!!!!!!!!! |
