2002 Exiss SS20 Two Horse All Aluminum Trailer with Walk-Thru Door

Description

Light, Rust-Resistant and Easy to Pull Behind a Half-Ton

Weight is the specification that quietly decides whether a horse trailer is pleasant to own. At 2,800 lb empty, this 2002 Exiss SS20 sits at the light end of the two horse market, which means less strain on the tow vehicle, better fuel numbers and a rig that does not dominate every trip to a clinic or a trailhead. The all-aluminum construction is what makes those numbers possible, and it brings corrosion resistance along for the ride.

The layout is efficient rather than sprawling. A 15-foot box with a 2-foot short wall and a 7-foot long wall gives you a proper dressing room for tack and gear while keeping the overall length short enough to park and back without drama. Outside width is 7 feet and inside height is 7 feet, suited to horses standing up to around 21 hands.

The feature most owners end up appreciating daily is the walk-thru door between the dressing room and the horse area. On a wet, windy morning you can move between the two without stepping outside, check on a horse mid-stop without dropping the rear doors, and keep the whole routine drier. A manual jack and an included spare tire round out a straightforward, low-fuss package.

Buying a Twenty-Year-Old Aluminum Trailer

Aluminum ages differently from steel. Instead of rust you are looking for cracked welds, especially where the frame meets the floor and around door frames, plus evidence of past repairs where a panel has been replaced or re-skinned. None of that is a deal breaker on a well-kept trailer, but it tells you how hard a life it has had, and it is far more informative than the shine on the outside.

The numbers give you room to work with: a 7,000 lb GVWR against a 2,800 lb empty weight leaves 4,200 lb for two horses, tack and water, which is ample for most pairs. That rating is well inside what a half-ton truck or a large SUV handles, so this is a realistic first trailer for someone stepping up from borrowing a friend’s. Confirm the 7-foot interior height suits your horses, and check the tires by date code and the brakes wheel by wheel once it arrives.
