2003 Sundowner 2 Horse Trailer with 2 ft Short Wall Dressing Room

Description

A Straightforward Two-Horse From a Name That Lasts

Not every buyer needs a living area, a hay pod or a bank of cabinets. Some need a well-made two-horse that starts every time, tows without drama and does not cost a second mortgage. That is precisely what this 2003 Sundowner is, and the 2 ft short wall dressing room is sized to the job: somewhere dry for saddles, blankets and grooming kit without stretching the trailer into something awkward to park.

Weekend trail riders, 4-H and show families, and anyone moving a pair of horses to the vet, the arena or a new pasture are the natural fit. The compact overall length also makes it far easier to reverse into a tight barn lane than a longer rig.

Why Steel Frame and Aluminum Skin Endures

The combination is old but it has stayed in production for a reason. Steel handles the structural loads where a frame is worked hardest, while the aluminum skin sheds weight off the walls and roof and refuses to rust through the way a steel-panelled body eventually does. The result is a trailer that has reached its twenties still earning its keep. Inside, a 7 ft interior height suits horses to roughly 21 hands, the 15 ft box gives two animals comfortable standing room, and a manual jack and included spare cover the practicalities. The 7 ft outside width is standard rather than extra-wide, which keeps the trailer predictable in a lane of traffic and simple to store against a barn wall between trips. Nothing here is exotic, and that is exactly the appeal for an owner who wants a trailer rather than a project.

With a used two-horse, start underneath: the floor and the cross members carrying it tell you more about how the trailer has been kept than the paint does. Then check tires, brakes and lights, and stand your tallest horse against the 7 ft interior figure before assuming it clears. The good news on the towing side is that a 7,000 lb GVWR over a 2,900 lb empty weight puts this comfortably within range of most half-ton and larger trucks, so you probably do not need a different vehicle to own it.

Ordering runs through direct bank transfer, delivery anywhere in the Lower 48 is included, and Puerto Rico addresses are a flat $550. Expect the trailer to move 4 to 10 days after payment clears, and note that the 30-day return policy applies. Similar trailers are grouped in Two Horse Trailers.
