I'm kind of stepping into this thread w/o reading every response. But to answer the question to replace axles or buy a new rig.........I just put new 5k Dexter axles on my daughters horse trailer. They were the EZ lube. $369.00 for both axles plus $90.00 shipping. Pretty reasonable for a set of first class axles. Naturally there is additional cost of bolts, bushings, equalizer/rocker etc. I did the work my self. A new rig is a heck of a lot more cash than that, even if you paid someone to put those on.
I am in the replace/upgrade camp myself. If you upgrade and do it right you will have a much more reliable TT.... Trading it in will just get you another TT with marginal running gear.
Even if you spend 2-3K on the upgrade, it will be worth it.....IF you like the TT otherwise.
My only warning is if you decide to upgrade, is do not go partway. That will likely mean a waste of money.
