Darkhorse Cargo Trailers for Sale in Holland, Michigan

Start with what you are hauling

Darkhorse makes four families and they overlap on size, which is why picking by length alone tends to go wrong. Start from the load and the answer usually falls out.

Hauling general cargo: the DHW

The wedge nose, and Darkhorse calls it their best seller. It runs from a 5x8 single axle up to an 8.5x24 tandem, with single axles covering 5 to 7 feet wide and tandems taking over from 7 feet. The sloped front is not styling for its own sake, it takes some of the drag out of a long highway run. Standard is a one-piece aluminum roof, .030 exterior metal, tube framing, three-quarter inch performance flooring, LED lighting throughout and rubberized coating on the tongue and bumpers.

Wanting maximum box for the length: the DHF

Same trailer, flat front. Because the nose is square you get usable space right to the front wall, which matters if you are loading long material. Widths run 6 to 8.5 feet and lengths 10 to 24 feet. Single axle goes up to the 6.5x14, and anything 7 feet or wider is tandem. Brakes come standard on every tandem and on the 6.5x14, optional below that. The build is the same underneath: three-quarter inch floor, 6mm plywood walls, one-piece aluminum roof, automotive-grade undercoating, four recessed 5,000 lb D-rings and a three-year limited warranty.

Working out of it every day: the DWRK

This is the trades trailer. Seven configurations from 7x14 to 8.5x24, all tandem axle with a 4 inch drop. The TA35 builds carry 7,000 lb GVWR and the TA52 builds go to 9,990 lb. Floor crossmembers are on 16 inch centers rather than 24, walls are 3/8 inch plywood, and it ships with four recessed 5,000 lb D-rings and a breakaway battery for the brakes. Undercoating and rubberized armor coating are standard, which is the right call for a trailer that sits outside through a lakeshore winter.

Hauling sleds or side-by-sides: the DSTT

Sport, track and trail. This is the long one, eleven configurations from 7.5x19 up to 8.5x31. Interior width is 86 inches on the 7.5 foot models and 96 inches on the 8.5 foot models, with interior lengths from 18.5 to 30.5 feet. All tandem axle, electric brakes standard, rated 7,000 lb to 9,990 lb depending on build. It comes with a 36 inch RV side door, a rear ramp door and nine flush-mount D-rings, and the D-ring count is the thing to look at when you are strapping down two or three machines.

Reading the 1500, 2500 and 3500 badges

The number is the trim level. It mostly describes how tightly the frame is spaced, and what comes fitted rather than optional.

Rule of thumb: daily loading and unloading justifies the 16 inch spacing on a 2500 or 3500. Weekend use rarely does, and the 1500 holds up fine.

Warranty, and what comes as standard

Every line carries a three-year limited warranty, and LED lighting, automotive-grade undercoating and recessed D-rings are fitted as standard rather than sold as options. With the factory in White Pigeon, a warranty question or a replacement part is usually a phone call and a short wait rather than a month of chasing a plant several states south. And if nothing in the catalogue is right, Darkhorse will build to order.
