1 complaints about the 2005 EZ Loader Trailer
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
My ez loader aluminum boat trailer nearly had a catastrophic failure of the main tongue beam that appears to be a direct result of weak materials and poor location of large drilled holes for lighting. While I managed to catch the situation before complete failure, the cracking happened behind manufacturer installed lighting masking the initial failure stages. My concern is that others may not be as fortunate in seeing the problem. Safety chains will not help with this type of failure! Please note: the trailer is an ez-loader not doolittle mfg. The website keeps replacing ez loader with doolittle when I go to preview the complaint. *Tr
