I am looking for information about EBY Trailers. How do they compare to Wilson on weight and usability? Pros and Cons. Any information would be helpful. Thank you! | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |

The Eby has a heavier ramp and it wears out faster (just my opinion) you will need to grease the Eby more then the rest of the stock trailers to make it so you can use it properly all of this is just my personal opinion from having used them and I prefer the Merit or the wilson but we each have our own preferences |

Rod, This forum is not used to get useful information, it is obviously a forum for people to bitch about how bad there life is, or rates, or if there dog ran away, or there wife/girl friend cheated on them. thanks Justin |

Ebys are a good trailer as long as you're willing to maintain it properly. A opinion of experience. Also with my 379 flattop with a cat engine and a full load of fuel on (270 gallons) my empty weight is 33,000. Might I mention that is a 53' spread axle. | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |

I have had a 2008 53ft spread since new love it. Normal cost of repairs to my merit i had before.I have blown 3 air bags though and they are a odd size. I just make sure to keep a spare on hand. Will be getting another new eby end of this year. W900 empty weight of 32,700 same as my 50 merit. |
