Hopefully they can get the quality up. Have a couple Triton TC's we have had for about 10 years now. Both have cracked the frames multiple times in multiple places and have had to be welded.

 

Alcom is hit or miss. Have seen a bunch of good ones and have seen a bunch that were made by 2nd graders.

 

My experience as well. Alcom/Mission quality is spotty from what I've seen.

 

I've had several Triton's over the years (utility and snowmobile) and l still have a TC167. I've never had a single quality issue on any of them and they've all seen their fair share of use.

If l was in the market for a new trailer, Triton would be my first choice, but with the way trailer prices have skyrocketed, l'm glad l'm not in that situation...

I’ve had two Triton clamshells and three hybrids. Clamshells were great but two of the hybrids had major roof leaks right from brand new. And I mean major leaks. Triton “fixed” the first one. That lasted 6 months. They traded that for a second. That one was way worse. So bad they couldn’t fix it and they bought back my last one and the one they replaced it (I still have it) with was great for a few years then it wasn’t. I gave up on Triton fixing it even though it’s under warranty still and ended up sliconing the whole top myself. So far that did it for now. My next one won’t be a Triton. I can’t see Alcom making them better..

 

Triton quality has gone downhill in recent years Imo

 

Quality has dropped across the board when it comes to trailers. That why when I was looking for an enclosed 5 yrs ago I went with a used Load Rite gull wing.
I just couldn't find a new one that I was willing to lay out big bucks for, while knowing the build quality wasn't there.

 

Reason for quality drop is use of Chinese parts.

 

That has been the reason for a lot of issues but china quality is up look how long thecovidhas lasted

 

Just what we don't need. A trailer monopoly. I bought a Nitro in the fall of 2018. So far it's been rock solid. Very well manufactured

Not much different in the RV & travel trailer segment. Wonder how much of the market Forest River controls?

 

Triton always seemed so expensive to me, Sno Pro, have owned several through the years. Only a couple of minor issues taken care of by warranty.
Hate to see competition eliminated or reduced.

 

I have an '07 Triton trailer that has been flawless.
Yeah, I agree that when competition is reduced it leaves room for the survivors to find a place to find savings.

 

There goes Triton. Mission are absolute garbage.
I run Forest River. Very good. I always considered Triton as one of the very best. That’s over now!

Legend makes a great trailer but to shell out $14K (or more) to haul 2 sleds is a tough pill to swallow but on the other hand, a good quality trailer is a good investment, lMO. I look around at trailers for the heck of it and it looks like for the money, a v-nose utility/contractor trailer with a ramp door would be the way to go. They're a lot less money for whatever reason but lack a drive-out door which wouldn't matter to me as l have to back out of my TC which is no big deal whatsoever. If l was in the market for a trailer l'd seriously consider going this route.

I have two older Triton trailers. A hybrid 2 place and a 12 foot tandem axle utility trailer. Love both of them! I haven't been a fan of Alcoms stuff.

 

Have a 2016 enclosed Triton 12 ft trailer for two sleds which I had purchased new. While coming back from Togwotee in 2020 at a gas stop I noticed one tire was shredded, one side of the tread was down to the cord the other side had only a small amount of tread left. Obviously the tire was not tracking straight causing the abnormal wear. So I consulted a dealer that specialized only in trailer sales. He advised that Triton had used a light capacity rubber torsion axel,( 2200lbs), which was border line too light for the load. It had lasted only 4 yrs and about 10-12 trips. I now have a 3600lb axel. Hoping this cures the problem. Also if you store your sleds on the trailer you should jack up the trailer as to relieve the load on the rubber torsion material as they can be crushed over time, I didn't know this so I may have contributed to the axel failure.

 

I have a 2003 Triton Prestige 26' inline with over 100,000 miles on it. It still looks and tows great. All I've done is put tires and brakes on it.
The Triton build quality back then is much better than what I see today but they have gone through some personnell issues in recent years that were likely the cause of the sale. I would still recommend their trailers compared to some of the others out there.

 

Always considered Triton to be top of the line. Had ordered one four years ago and it didn't come the way I ordered it so I turned it down. Big mistake. Back then it was a little over 4,000 now I see they're at 6,000 dollars. I thought four was too much back then. Guess I'll keep using my 1996 floe with the bearcat topper. Have had to add reinforcement here and there over the years due to cracks in the aluminum but seems to be pretty solid and dependable yet. Oh yeah and the new axle due to rust.

 

I had a 3 place in line Sno-Pro for 12 years. That is when Sno-Pro was a good product. I would still have that except my wife was in an accident hauling the trailer. We were lucky she wasn't hurt but trailer not so much. It was a total. I ended up buying a Nitro 3 place in line. Very nice trailer.
