Pace Trailers
Any info out there on the newer Pace Trailers? I'm guessing someone is using the name, but it's not the same Pace Trailers from 10 years ago.

How's the quality of the build and durability? Are they comparable to the old product? How do they compare to other's trailers in today's market---Vintage? Bravo? Continental Cargo?

IMHO call Kenny Anderson at Fast Farm Trailer Sales in Florida. He will treat you right!

The new Pace is nothing like the old pace. No where near the same quality. The original owner of pace now has a trailer company called Bravo.

Since your in Ohio, I suggest contacting KB Trailer sales. Great group to work with. They sell Vintage and Intech for sure, not sure what other brands they offer.

Scott, the Bravo trailers are nice, personally we have a Vintage Outlaw and it is also a nice trailer. Both of them have the aluminum option also if you're thinking that route.

I have an Intech Icon 28’, not cheap, but also not much more than a similar optioned steel Bravo. Maybe $5k more.

The Intech Lite series is a really good deal. I’ve seen them between $15-20k, where a similar equipped Vintage was $14-15k. No comparison in quality between a Vintage and Intech.

Just sold Vintage I had--it was good. Been looking at Bravo now. Trailer prices are ridiculous...

Intech are beautiful...I'm with you--more than I want to spend on a trailer.

I checked with a bunch of places on Bravo--all were good to deal with, esp Chris Barker at Barker Trailer--very responsive and good pricing.

If your going to spend near 50,000 look at a used GOLDRUSH or T&E or Intech...Pace was NEVER a HIGH quality trailer...NEVER claimed to be either. Intech DOES look like a high quality trailer...cant be totally sure as I have never owned one.

Yes I have previously owned a Pace, Haulmark, Vintage, Continental Cargo, T&E and Goldrush over the years...

Had an 2009 52’ Pace LQ and the fit and finish was awesome. I compared it to Classic and Vintage and it was as good as Classic and better than Vintage. Not sure about the new company!

Always buy the one foot extra height. You can thank me later.

None I know of, same as motor homes with entire offshored accessories and interiors. Just think if all those interiors and accessories in motor homes were made in USA. they wouldn't be piling up on lots for sale, there would be US citizens with discretionary money to buy them, to keep them from piling up ay?. I talked to the guys from Goldrush in 2008 PRI, they proudly claimed everything on their trailers was Made in USA. Do you see any downside in that?

I had a 2007 Pace that was built in Georgia. Fit & finish was much better than the Vintage and still noticeably better than my bosses Classic.

I've never seen a Vintage that I found impressive to date. Classic seemed OK, but also reminded me alot of the Vintage, especially the countertop and cabinets.
