We are looking at Twister Trailers. Like the way they are built. I want a reverse load with side ramp and the hugh rear tack. What do you think of these trailers? good or bad.

I know nothing about them except for what I've seen at the horse shows we attend.... Nice looking, well built trailers, their welds appear to be second to none. A friend of ours in Ohio has a 3 horse, 10 or 12 foot LQ, w/hay pod and 6K generac generator up on the roof...... All I can say is, the word "TWISTER" must be an old American Indian word or term for, Heavy Duty, cause that is one heavy duty 3 horse LQ trailer!!

No relation with 2L trucks. But they are not to far from me, next town over. They have worked on the trailer that I have now.
That is what we are wanting is a 3 or 4 horse reverse load with 10-12 ft LQ. I don't want longer than 30 feet and the rear tack adds 2 foot short wall on it. And then there is the $$$ in this economy. That freightliner does look good.

I live down the road from Twister trailer manufacturing. Yes, they are a well built aluminum trailer, but I would not go as far as to say they are the only well built aluminum trailer on the market today.

You can easily tell there is absolutely no bias in this statement, or reason for it.

I have been pulling a Twister for about 3 years now. 4 horse 12 ft LQ. I absolutely love the trailer and I cant say enough good things about the guys at the factory. I had many different specifications that I needed since I run my business out of it as well as haul horses in it. The guys at the factory would call me while it was being built just to review and go over what I needed. The cactus conversion in the LQ is top of the line. The build of the overall trailer is top notch. I spend at least 80 nights a year in my trailer so I have put it to the test. Twister has definately won a customer in me and you can guarantee when I decide to bite the bullet and order a trailer with bunkbeds it will be a Twister.
With the build quality and great customer service you cant go wrong.
Edited to say that I also had my choices narrowed down to the Platinum and the Twister as well before I ordered. Both are very well built trailers.

Twister is a really nice trailer. (too fancy for me) Cimarron I think has a rev slant as well as 4 Star, Bloomer, C&C and all have dealers located less than an hour from you and all 3 are great guys to work with.

Platinum does make a reverse load. It's a really nice trailer and Outlaw does the living quarters conversion. My daughter is in the process of ordering one as they make very few reverse loads in a 3 horse.
