Why Buy Factory Direct from Double D Trailers?

Someone emailed us recently asking if buying factory direct was just a gimmick to save money.

Short answer? Nope.

In fact, a factory direct trailer from Double D might cost the same, or even more, than something you’d find on a dealer’s lot.

So why do so many buyers still choose us?

Because they’re done settling. They’re done wasting money on trailers with features they don’t need and designs that don’t work for their horses. They’re done nodding politely while a salesperson pushes them toward a trailer that looks shiny but falls short where it matters.

If you’re the kind of person who wants to build a trailer around your horse’s needs, not a dealership’s inventory, you’re in the right place.

Let’s play this out.

You walk into a dealership. A few trailers on the lot. The salesperson points to one that’s close enough. You ask about airflow or interior space or your tow vehicle. They shrug and say, “This is what we’ve got.”

Now picture this:

You send us a message. You tell us what horses you’re hauling. What truck you’re using. What you’ve loved — and hated — in past trailers. We ask follow-up questions. We show you examples. We build it together, from the ground up.

Same budget. Very different outcomes.

FACTORY DIRECT ISN’T A PRICE HACK. 

It’s a design revolution.

You don’t buy a Double D Trailer because it’s cheap. You buy it because:

• You’re tired of cutting corners
• You’ve seen what happens when airflow fails or construction weakens
• You want the power to choose (and the right to say no)
• And because safety isn’t a marketing claim, it’s something we’ve spent decades earning a reputation for

What Real Buyers Say About Buying Direct

⭐ Maureen H.

"I couldn’t be more happy with this trailer! It is solidly built! While some may be apprehensive about ordering a trailer online, I can tell you that the process was easy and Brad does a great job making recommendations based on your needs. I have a draft cross and Brad was able to guide me in getting me the right trailer for my needs and the needs of my large horse."

⭐ Kim S.

"I received my trailer today and just love that it’s exactly what I asked for and envisioned. Brad was in contact with me every step of the way, even when I asked for an addition. He treated me like I was buying a trailer twice the price."

⭐ Lindsey F.

"The whole outfit is top notch and we could not recommend Double D Trailers enough! Get EXACTLY what you want — the sky is the limit! OUTSTANDING! Nothing else compares!!!"

⭐ Carol H.

"I ordered my custom 3-horse bumper pull nearly 2 years ago. I had some special requirements: a dressing room large enough for sleeping space and the ability to pull the trailer with a 9.5' camper on my tow vehicle. Brad was a dream to work with. He helped me with the design, and even told me some of the options I wanted were not necessary. Imagine that — a sales rep, saving you money!"

"The process was fun and simple. He sent me prints for approval, answered my million questions, kept me informed while the trailer was being manufactured, sent photos when it was complete, and arranged delivery to my property in Oregon. Seamless from start to finish."

Why We Don’t Shout “Best Price!”

If we were trying to “sell” you right now, we’d be waving a price tag in your face.

We’d be shouting things like “Best value!” or “Lowest price!” like every dealer and mass trailer brand does.

But here’s the truth:

If your horse had a voice, they’d choose safety over savings. Comfort over convenience. Quality over shortcuts.

That’s what factory direct really means… at least around here.
