I'm also pursuing an ATC toy hauler. I'm still looking for a good dealer to work with but I'm thinking we will also pick it up at the factory then travel around on our way back to Idaho. Would you recommend the dealer you worked with?
Hoping you will keep updating this thread with your experience (and pictures) through this process with ATC. Looking forward to hearing about it.
I have been working with Brandon Eshuis at Premier Custom Trailers in Schoolcraft, Mich. They are the preferred dealer for ATC and are located about 56 miles north of the ATC factory. They are not charging any delivery or set up fees and are discounting off of MSRP about $7k. So far they have been very responsive to any questions I've asked. I contacted the factory and they have also been extremely good to work with.....but they are not staffed for setup/delivery. They will make an exception if necessary but would rather you go thru a dealer for delivery. With no fees being charged.....it makes sense to use the dealer. 10% down with a cc will get your trailer ordered. 6 to 8 weeks for build and delivery. Mine is scheduled to be completed 25 Sep and I take delivery on 29th. The savings in delivery and set up fees will more than pay for my road trip. Brandon went over all available options on the phone with me and I had a quote in about an hour. We will stop at the factory on the way to the dealership for a look at the mfg process and get some dimensions and location of backing for installation of some aftermarket stuff I have in mind. I have spent a lot of time researching this rig and I can't find anyone who has an issue with the ATC toy hauler or the way the factory folks have treated them. I especially like the way they are built and they have all the factory options I was looking for.
Thanks for the info! I will give Brandon a call. Not that you need it with your dually, but do you plan on using any WD/sway control? If so curious what you are going with for use with the aluminum frame.
At this point I am not expecting to need WD or sway control.....hoping the torsion axels on the trailer will take care of sway issues.
