I am interested in seeing a review of a Titan of Oklahoma horse trailer. I'm looking to get a 3 horse slant load BP trailer.

Can't comment on the bp as we were looking for a gn stock.  Comparing the Titan (Kingston, OK manufacturer) to a WW gn stock it was not apples to apples.

The Titan gn stock does not use as heavy duty iron in the floor framing and the bulkhead sheet metal actually "shook" when knocking on it like knocking on a door.  

For about the same price, actually a little less, but a better made product than the Titan, we bought the WW.  Shame, as we were hoping to buy something other than a WW without having to sink a lot of money into a trailer we won't use on a daily basis and cost less than other brands.

Go look at one and be sure and look under the trailer.

Thanks for the information. It seems like dealers who carry the CM Dakota and the Titan of Oklahoma are really pushing the Titan at less money.

Paul,

Not the same Titan.  Nice of you to post a link, but that is for Titan in Kansas, not in Oklahoma.  I believe they are two different brands.

Would rather have the CM Dakota than the WW or Titan, cost was the deciding factor.  We've had a WW Roustabout before so was ok with buying another WW product instead of paying a lot more for a CM trailer.  However, we do have a CM Norstar 4 mule slant, mid tack with a large "weekender" dressing room.  We needed a day ride or go to the vet trailer and the capability of still hauling 4 mules without hooking to the larger CM.

Buy the CM Dakota before buying the Titan.  The dealer we looked at the Titan wasn't but maybe 30 miles or so from the Titan manufacturing plant and still couldn't beat WW's price.  And, WW's manufacturer is also nearby, and still had to wait a week for the trailer we wanted.

You're kidding...right...could you image someone calling their product FORD of Ohio and have it be different from FORD based in Michigan...

Well, I just sent the outfit in KS an email to ask if they are related?...so will be curious to see the response...I agree with you...if it were my business...I think I would be sending a cease and desist order on the use of the name...

That is because WW is one of the cheapest built steel trailers on the market.  The is only 1 or 2 other steel trailers that will or can beat the price of the WW.  The reason why is look at a few of the WW trailers that are a couple of years old or even older compaired to something like the CM or use to be S&H trailers.  Just about every WW will have rust streaks and even rust startingin the corners and seams where the others will not.  WW use to just spray paint with NO primer on the trailers.  I just sold a 2004 S&H 3 horse goosneck that stilll looked brand new.

Paul, No they have no affiliation with us. They have an “s” in their name. We are Titan Trailer Mfg. Inc. – they are Titan Trailers Mfg. It is very confusing to people, but if you compare our trailers to theirs you will see the difference. Our website is www.titantrailer.comOur ph. # is 866-294-4514 If you have other questions please let me know. Thanks, Dan

HTB, (howdy neighbor west of me in north Texas)

Yes, we are well aware of the rust problems with WW, but hubby can weld so can fix/repair.  On the model we bought WW has gone with a smoother sided panel, not so extruded to cause water to pool above a weld as badly.  Of course we would prefer a better quality trailer, but couldn't justify it.  This is our 3rd WW, not because they rusted out, needs just changed over the years and our 2nd bar top WW.

I took had to look several times at the 2 different Titans trying to figure out what the heck??? when I was first shopping for a 16' bar top gn and came across the Oklaoma Titan.  Sure looked sharp in the picture.  Another bad thing about the Okie Titan is a piece of metal, sort of "L" shaped on the floor that would sure hook a shoe and possibly rip it off.  Funny thing, there was nothing on the center gate on the bottom that would be used to help keep the gate open and tight against a side wall.  Don't know what it was for and neither did the dealer.
