Location: Columbus, Oh | Hello everyone we are new to the board and just wanted to share with everyone the experience we had when purchasing our new Lakota trailer! We had been looking/researching for over a year online, w/ friends and at the 06 Quarter Horse Congress and 07 Equine Affair and this year after spending three straight weekends at congress looking at nothing but trailers, we were most impressed with the structural integrity of the Lakota brand and the professionalism and patience of the sales managers from Lakota Headquarters.The interior is by far the nicest we have seen without going the route of a custom conversion i.e. duster etc... To give you an idea of what our comparison market was we were looking at the following trailers.. Exiss, Kiefer Built, 4-Star, Cimarron etc. Instead of taking the trailer home with us on the last day of congress it was going to be trailered back up to their HQ where they were more than willing to due some additional upgrades to a already built trailer. Which no other manufacture was willing to entertain the thought of doing! We were invited to the HQ in Bristol, IN two weeks later to pickup our new trailer and take a tour of their manufacturing plant. We were very impressed walking the assembly line seeing a trailer at the beginning's of the framing process to nearing the end of completion where the LQ's were being built out. The whole trailer is built under one roof from the LQ to the slideouts etc.. Nothing is outsourced like many other trailer manufactures.. We even had the chance to meet and talk with the president of the company. The 4 hour + ride home gave us a chance to feel how the trailer would pull minus the horses and it pulled great! Last weekend we took the horses out for a ride at Kiser Lake, OH and truck and it was a pleasure driving/pulling the truck and trailer.
I would also like to take a moment and say thank you to all of you who post on these forums and any other forums as I have gained a wealth of knowledge about trailer quality, brands etc. In return if you ever have any questions about trailers in general or the Lakota brand fee free to ask...
