Nunz: I might have something you can buy. I bought a superclamp plus one or two extra things (something to hold the rear of sled maybe?), but ended up reselling my Triton before using the superclamp stuff. Slomo: the Superclamp stuff doesn't seem to fit in the tracking of my Bullitt.

No doubting the Triton is a fine trailer, not disagreeing with your or any other appraisal, but folks might want to keep in mind that at the time everyone else purchased the TC167 (and I looked at one myself) there was little or no competition in this particular market niche - not until probably this year with the Bullit and perhaps another brand name. Triton might have the reputation, but other brands might be trying to get into the field with similar offerings - and a discounted price. Worth a look around.

Is that frame rotted out? 2012 Triton? After Solmo review I was thinking pay more for Triton. Now maybe not so much.

I purchased the 16' X 7" Bullit about a month and a half ago - the purchase price was very similar to the show price. To date I have towed it to my place from Action Trailers unladen so can't comment on loaded weight performance yet. But it did tow very well empty and visibility around the sides was good so that passing slower vehicles did not present much of a problem. It was a very windy day on which I picked it up, yet felt no sway or much wind resistance. I am glad I got it earlier than next fall to allow for a few improvements and modifications. I am installing more interior lighting, (there is one at the front part already) storage rigging for fuel cans etc, and adaptations for Super Clamp tie downs - the hooks for floor channels are readily available. Have also installed some sliding hasp lock hardware on the front and side doors. A wireless rear view camera is also in the works as is an access port to be able to run an extension cord for an interior heater if block heater electrical is available. A few deficiencies: -the leading edge of the trailer exposes the edge of the pressure treated plywood floor platform, which after exposure to salt and slush, will likely degrade. Will be fixing this with an application of painted Grace Ice and Water Shield - very tough and sticky roofing membrane. -in order to grease the ezee lube bearings (or whatever brand name they are) the entire wheel has to be removed to take off plastic decorative wheel hub covers which are virtually useless anyway and this operation will be a disincentive to regular hub bearing greasing. The plastic hub covers have been turned into deco pieces for ms. slomo's flower garden - the hub can now be greased without having to remove a wheel. -one wheel was torqued more than the other. User manual supplies proper torque measurements for hub nuts - neither wheel to spec. -corrogated metal on roof is going to provide a space for water to settle over time - expansion and contraction during weather might create leaking - will jump off that bridge when I get to it, but likely a layer of ice and water shield will make an easy repair. -grease fittings on the ramp door closing handles were sunk too deep into the hinge metal and could not be accessed by a regular grease gun. They appear to be some sort of press fit without threads on them so will be drilled out and replaced. -some wiring to exterior lights was too tight into unprotected access holes in sharp metal with little insulating material on the wiring - a condition that would result in the wiring contracting in cold weather, being cut into by the metal by vibration and shorting out - something you don't want at -30 or -40 degrees. Wiring has been relaxed with extra length and protection added to the harness. For the money though I am pretty pleased - the axles and hubs are brand names, trailer structure is well constructed, ferrous metal has been well insulated from aluminum and the opening side door, which will come in handy, is an extra cost feature on the similar Triton model. I have been, however, paying closer attention to ms. slomo's yoga stuff, as if you spend much time in the trailer working on it or a sled, your back will pay the price and need to be stretched and relaxed. Only thing holding me back on the yoga thing is the price and look of the yoga outfits you need to buy and sledding costs enough already. My dealing with Action Trailers could have been better - the trailer was ready on time, but the guy who was supposed to install the license plate disappeared without attaching it - so ran all day without one. Received an email saying I left 'before they could put it on' - I assumed that the guy would have done his job and that it was on there. (the license plate attaching area is well out of sight - hope this doesn't present any difficulties later) Anywhoo, they had to be reminded to courier it to me which eventually happened - not a big deal on the surface, but I did pay close to $100 to get plated and registered. Anything else I note will be mentioned here later.
