![]() ![]() ![]() They resist corrosion the best, making them a good choice if you frequent saltwater or marine environments.Įach trailer comes with the Tredit Advantage Program, which includes 24/7 emergency service, vehicle theft recovery incentive, lost/stolen key service and more.ĭ.O.T. Venture has eliminated 3 u-bolts per side.ĭesign defect on the older models.!!!!? and mine is 3 yrs old with probably less than 500 miles on it.Our line of aluminum trailers are a lightweight option that can help maximize towing capacity and increase fuel economy. Now I have noticed that this yrs models the shackles are welded to flat stock and the mounted at each end with one U-bolt. If those nuts loosen will the u-bolts holding the axles in place slide, what keeps that from happening.? Those 3/32 thin aluminum straps on either side of the U-bolts? How do you torque a nylon nut on the U-bolt that is holding your axles in place.? checked tire inflation, 45 lbs around, off yes, but nothing that makes the newspaper.ĭid the axles shift.? The axles on these trailers, 2010 models are held in place by u-bolts with nylon nuts, and that's it. I have a 2010 model that has done more sitting than traveling in the last 3 yrs.ġST thing I noticed was cupping on the inside driver side tires and cupping on the outside of the passenger side tires. I just wanted to post my opinion and give everyone my experience.and if you have a venture.lay down on the ground and look at the springs!!!! You might have a huge monster just waiting to cause you major problems, and possibly major damage! If I did it again, I would NEVER purchase a Venture. I purchased the trailer so I would have years of trouble free service(with good maintenance). ![]() I contacted Venture because in my opinion there is a major safety issue with the springs they are using. I have NEVER had a trailer spring totally fail, let alone crack in half. ![]() Now before everyone starts posting.YES i take care of my trailer like i do my is serviced all the time.and its not my first rodeo.I have been trailering boats my entire life(correct tire pressures, and yes the trailer is rated correctly to hold the boat). I contacted Venture.and they pretty much said.and not in such a polite way.why you calling us on a trailer that is out of warranty by two years- its easy to fix go buy 3 more springs. To make matters even worse.I launched the boat, and decided to inspect the rest of the springs.and EVERY spring on the trailer is cracked in half and in danger of failing.(2 axle trailer) After spending the better half of the day on the side of the road trying to find and replace the broken spring I finally got to my destination. I can totally understand if it were a trailer used in salt water, or one that is not maintained.but that is DEFINITELY not the case. I was towing the boat for about one hour into my trip and my rear spring snapped completely in half, destroying the fender and tire.and thankfully after getting the truck and trailer to a stop nothing else was damaged. I service the trailer at least twice a year, and of course every time I use it for a long haul. I purchased a NEW Venture trailer to hull my 24' Sea Ray on 4 years ago. I wanted to put a post on the site for anyone that is considering purchasing a Venture trailer. ![]()
