8.5′×40′, 16K GVWR, Non-CDL Trailer – Hotshot Special

We use heavy-duty U.S. components wherever possible. That includes American steel, marine-grade wiring, and LED lights. And, we custom manufacture our own axels, because quality matters when you’re working hard and hauling heavy.

Meet the people that make your trailer. Every trailer is hand-built by skilled craftsmen at our facility in Madisonville, Texas. Many of our team members have been with us for years—some are second or third generation. It’s not mass-produced. It’s personal. That’s the Texas Pride difference.

Either. Most of our customers spec and order their trailers entirely over the phone with help from a real person who knows trailers inside and out. If you’ve got internet access and a phone, we can get you rolling—wherever you are in the U.S. Get a quote.

Every Texas Pride trailer includes the core structural features that make our trailers stand out: heavy-gauge steel, high-grade wiring, LED lighting, and more. From there, you can add custom options like color, axles, ramps, tarp kits, winches, and more—built the way you want.

Absolutely: Get a Quote. We’ll walk through your specs and provide a clear, no-surprise quote so you know exactly what you’re getting—and what it’ll cost. No pressure. No fluff.

Yes—as long as your tow vehicle is properly equipped and rated for the trailer’s GVWR. We’ll double-check compatibility before you pick up and make sure you’re safe, legal, and confident before you hit the road.

No. We focus 100% on new, made-to-order trailers—built for your job, not someone else’s. That means no used inventory or trade-ins. What you get is brand-new, factory-fresh, and spec’d just for you.

Yes. Every trailer comes with a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO) and a bill of sale so you can title and register it in your state. We’ll walk you through what to expect and make sure you’ve got what you need.

We’ve got your back. Whether it’s replacement parts, service questions, or upgrade requests, our support team is just a call away. You’re working with folks who built your trailer—not some random dealer—so help is always fast, informed, and easy to get.

Yes. Most Texas Pride trailers come equipped with electric brakes, which require a 7-way plug and an in-cab brake controller to operate safely and legally. If you’re not already set up, your local truck outfitter can get you dialed in fast—and we can help you know what to ask for.

Depends on the trailer and your total weight. Most bumper pull trailers under 10K GVWR don’t require anything special. But if you’re hauling a gooseneck or pushing over 26,000 lbs combined GVWR, you might need a commercial driver’s license (CDL) depending on your state and use case. We’ll help you run the numbers so you’re good to go.

That depends on the trailer’s GVWR, hitch type, and what you’re hauling—but here’s the gist:

• For most 7K–14K bumper pull trailers, a ½-ton or ¾-ton pickup (like an F-150 or Silverado 2500) will do the job, especially if it’s properly equipped with a tow package.
• For heavier-duty trailers (think 20K–30K GVWR or gooseneck setups), you’ll need a ¾-ton or 1-ton truck—something like a Ram 3500, Ford F-350, or Chevy 3500HD.
• Gooseneck trailers require a truck with a bed-mounted ball hitch (we’ll help you spec it).
• And if you’re hauling commercially or crossing state lines, you’ll want to double-check DOT and CDL requirements based on total combined weight.

Not sure if your truck’s up to the task? No problem. Our team will walk you through the numbers—payload, tow capacity, tongue weight, axle ratings—to make sure your rig is safe, legal, and ready to roll.

You’ll still be working with the same person who helped you buy. No handoffs. No runaround. And our support team is always here if you need parts, advice, or service info down the road.

G.V.W.R. (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the maximum loaded weight your trailer is rated to handle. We build trailers from 7,000 lbs up to 30,000 lbs GVWR, depending on your job. Don’t worry—our team will help you spec the right rating based on what you’re hauling, your axle count, and your truck’s towing capacity. Holler if you need help.

Bumper pull trailers attach to a standard receiver hitch at the rear of your truck—quick and convenient for lighter loads.
Gooseneck trailers connect over the rear axle in your truck bed, offering better stability, tighter turning, and higher payload capacity. If you’re hauling heavier loads or towing often, gooseneck’s the way to go.
