FAQs
Everything you need to know about buying a custom aluminum trailer from Rugged.
How does my trailer get delivered?
Rugged Direct Delivery brings your trailer right to your door! We have a network of experienced delivery drivers who carefully handle your trailer, ensuring it arrives safely and in perfect condition.
How do I pay for my new trailer?
We offer flexible options to make your purchase easy. A 25% deposit is required to begin building your custom trailer, and the remaining balance must be paid before your trailer ships. This allows us to include all necessary paperwork (MCO and Bill of Sale) with your delivery.
How do I keep my aluminum trailer looking its best?
Aluminum is a low-maintenance material, and its strength won’t be affected by natural oxidation. However, if you want to tackle any cloudiness and restore shine, lightly scrub the oxidized areas with a green Scotch-Brite pad. A little effort goes a long way! Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners are unnecessary and could damage the finish.
Can I customize my trailer beyond the options on your website?
We offer a wide range of standard customization options directly on our website. These include choices for size, rails, ramps, accessories, and more, allowing you to tailor your trailer to your exact needs. To provide the best value for most customers, we don’t typically offer customizations beyond those listed. However, if you have a large volume or commercial order, we may be able to accommodate additional customization requests. Contact us to discuss your specific needs!
Can I buy a Rugged Trailer from a local dealer?
To ensure the best possible pricing and customer experience, Rugged Trailers are exclusively sold direct from the manufacturer. We do not offer our trailers through local dealers, allowing us to maintain high quality at competitive prices directly to our customers.
