1998 Sundowner 3 Horse Slant

Description

A steel-frame, aluminum-skin three-horse slant with a 2 ft short wall, 17 ft box and 5,200 lb axles. The seller records it as ready to haul and sold as-is, where-is.

Sold as-is is the phrase to weigh, and it is the seller's own. On a trailer of this age that means inspecting it properly rather than relying on the description: pull the mats and look at the floor from above and below, check the frame at the coupler and around the axles for rust and cracked welds, read the tire date codes rather than the tread, and work every divider and latch.

Steel frame with aluminum skin is the construction to check most carefully, because the two metals corrode where they meet at the fasteners. Recorded dimensions are 7 ft outside width and 7 ft of interior height — 21 hands — over a 17 ft box, at 3,500 lb empty against a 12,500 lb GVWR. That is a large capacity margin for three horses.
