Jimglo trailers

[Glenn Peterson]

If I wanted to replace my old tilt-bed open trailer, I'd consider something like that. But I have a new closed trailer now.

How much does it weigh?

They also have a trailer specifically made for the new Ford GTs.

That one made for the Ford GTs is the one I got!

Yes my trailer is an 18 foot Jimglo. it is an all- aluminum tilt bed model. google "Jimglo" for details. It is made in the Arizona State Prison by inmates enrolled in a work program to learn skills they can use when released instead of returning to a life of crime. It is a good program and the inmates get paid well for their work.

That's really interesting! I had no idea they were part of a program like that. It's awesome to know that they’re supporting a great cause by helping inmates learn real-world skills and get fair pay. Makes me appreciate them even more. Thanks for sharing mate

Just took a look at https://jimglo.com/ those trailers are seriously impressive! They definitely seem to be in the premium range.

If you don’t mind sharing, what did it cost and how’s it holding up so far? I noticed they don’t list prices on the site.

It came in just under $50k but that was with me driving to Arizona to pick it up and there wasn't much I didn't get. Shore Line charge, solar panel for a charge when the shore line isn't available, winch in the floor, cabinets, work bench, ramp extensions, spare tire, electric tongue jack, exterior lights, back camera that displays on the screen of the F250 radio, Floor rails to use with the straps that secure over the tires, etc.

The one thing I wouldn't get again is the damned cargo strap holders on the wall. HUGE pain in the ass to store them there and not worth the extra time just to look snazzy.

I don't understand why spare tires are not standard equipment on a trailer. (I now also store my battery powered impact wrench and a torque wrench in the back of my truck).

I love the Ford trailer backup camera. I frequently have it on while driving on the highway in place of the rearview mirror. Did you get the version with the trailer TPMS? (see above)

I haven't used the wall mounted cargo strap holder. I just leave them at the four corners for the next time I use the trailer.

I think it can be expanded with a TPMS, but I don't think it is installed and I know the tires don't have sensors in them.

The only time that the wall mount for t he straps has been useful is when I used the trailer to move my son to college earlier this year. It hasn't been used since and that's why the carpet is visible in the pictures on the floor. I forgot it was still there until I took pics the other day for insurance quotes.
