Featherlite Trailer Press Releases

Featherlite’s car trailer options meet racers’ needs

CRESCO, Iowa/November 16, 2009 — Car owners can now better design a trailer that meets all their needs, thanks to Featherlite Trailers’ 2010 car trailer options.

Among these options is a front-mounted slide-out that adds additional space to the Model 4926’s optional living quarters. This option lets the trailer take up less room than it would with side-mounted slide-outs.

Featherlite also offers expanded color choices to make a racer’s car trailer stand out from the rest. Green, yellow, orange and brandywine side panels are available on all models. If a single color trailer doesn’t stand out enough, customers can select the tri-color option to really give their trailers an eye-catching look. Plus, new optional aluminum wheels are corrosion-resistant and add an extra dash of style.

New 2010 options make trailer suitable for construction and landscaping in addition to car hauling

CRESCO, Iowa/October 15, 2009 — Featherlite’s 2010 offerings include some significant new options for the Model 3110 car trailer. These new options not only increase the 3110’s standing as a car trailer but also make it an excellent choice for construction and landscaping.

Featherlite Trailers’ new array of “lite” priced horse trailers plus luxury living quarters

on display at Quarter Horse Congress

CRESCO, Iowa/October 7, 2009 —At this month’s All American Quarter Horse Congress, Featherlite’s show display will include many new “lite-priced” horse trailers, while still offering horse owners Featherlite’s all-aluminum durability plus distinctive luxury choices. “Featherlite’s newest generation of horse trailers originates from a desire to offer more value to horse owners who are faced with a challenging economy yet are still focused on the safety and care of their horses and don’t want to sacrifice reliability and quality,” Randy Lewis, Featherlite national sales manager, said.

Leading the line up of new Featherlite trailers on display at the Quarter Horse Congress (Congress) is the Model 8533 gooseneck horse trailer introduced this spring that now has even more options including a 2-horse configuration and a weekender living quarters. A Model 8533 combining both new options will be on display at Congress. The 8533 measures an easy-to-tow width of 6’7” and has Featherlite’s new standard feature – chrome glass windows. The trailer sports a handy dressing room with 46” short wall when not outfitted with a living quarters.

The weekender living quarters in the Model 8533 offers the options of a bed in the gooseneck, shower/toilet combo, overhead cabinets, single stainless steel sink, countertop, wardrobe closet, in cabinet refrigerator, microwave and other amenities.

“Featherlite’s 8533 horse trailer is designed for the recreational horse owner with its lower price point and the option for a small living quarters, yet it still affords a horse owner the durability and value of Featherlite’s all-aluminum construction,” Lewis said. The starting retail price for the Model 8533 is $18,404 with the living quarters starting at $27,105.

Another solution for price-conscious horse owners is Featherlite’s new Model 8417, a combo horse/stock gooseneck trailer. The new combo trailer also measures 6’7” wide and is available in lengths of 16’ and 20’ and with a slant or straight wall dressing room. The trailer comes standard with a wood floor, wraparound LED lights, an aerodynamic tapered gooseneck and full swing rear gate. Numerous additions are available on the Model 8417 including tack options, LED strip lighting, plexiglass and more.

“Two other new lite-priced horse trailer models, the 9405 and 9409, plus our livestock Model 8117 are also new for 2010, plus pricing on most Featherlite models has never been more attractive,” Lewis said. “While we’ve developed more economical hauling options, we’ve still kept focus on the quality, easy-tow and durability of a Featherlite trailer. In addition, all horse trailers now come with Featherlite’s new mirrored “chrome” glass windows.”

On the other end of the spectrum, horse owners still have the option of customizing their trailer with eye-catching and unique options with the Featherlite PerfectFit™ System. Featherlite will have on display a Featherlite living quarters configured with a Nintendo Wii®. This 23-ft. double slideout has a rear bedroom that also serves as an entertainment suite. It sports a leather foldout electric couch, a wet bar and a Nintendo Wii. There is also a Wii gaming console outside on the trailer. The trailer features stylish LED strip lighting that provides extra illumination in the horse area, a wrapped hay rack, convenient sliding saddle rack and an exterior with dual silver/black side sheets and polished aluminum panels on the bottom.

Another living quarters on display will feature heavy-duty 2” thick feed doors with chrome glass windows, fans in the horse area and polished panels on the exterior. The 16’ living quarters area features a VIP interior with 2-toned walnut cabinet doors with a clear maple inlay.

The horse area is equipped with Featherlite’s new WERM flooring option, which seals the trailer floor and provides a padded, slip resistant surface that is impervious to liquids and eliminates the need for rubber mats.

• & Many more!

Featherlite has been building all-aluminum horse trailers since 1973. Each Featherlite horse trailer comes with an 8-year limited structural warranty, and new for 2010 models, Featherlite’s warranty is transferable when traded in for a new Featherlite trailer and resold at an authorized Featherlite dealer. “Horse owners can feel confident they’re receiving reliability, a superior tow and peace of mind when they choose a Featherlite horse trailer,” Lewis said.

New Featherlite stock trailer options provide style and safety

CRESCO, Iowa/October 12, 2009 — When Featherlite Trailers planned its 2010 stock trailer options, its main goal was to stack great looks on top of superior durability. “We wanted to outdo ourselves,” Randy Lewis, Featherlite’s national sales manager, said.

To that end, Featherlite has released options that really make its stock trailers exceptional. Customers now have four new colors from which to select: green, yellow, orange and brandywine. Corrosion-resistant aluminum wheels are another option that add an extra dash of style.

Featherlite’s options aren’t just about flash and style. The new “Step Safe” rear gate option is designed to be safer for your livestock, and their owners too. “Step Safe” center gates, previously introduced in Featherlite’s 2009 models, are already effective in preventing livestock slippage, and the new rear gate option makes loading and unloading livestock even safer.

Featherlite Announces Aggressive Product Launch Despite Tough Market

New innovations, exclusive features top the list

Cresco, IA/June 10, 2009 – Featherlite® Trailers’ 2010 offerings suggest this is a company as tough as its products. Instead of adopting a “stay the course” attitude for 2009, Featherlite has unveiled new trailers, new options and bold new customer benefits.

“At Featherlite, we think the proper response to an underperforming economy is to over-perform,” Randy Lewis, Featherlite’s national sales manager, said. “We wanted to outdo ourselves with both product innovation and customer benefit.”

Bold innovations

Among Featherlite’s biggest innovations are the new “Step-Safe” rear gates, featured in their livestock trailers. Featherlite is offering this popular option for their rear gates in addition to the center gates. “Step-Safe” gates help prevent livestock slippage, and they’re convenient for farmers and ranchers too.

The new transferrable warranty program also showcases Featherlite’s commitment to the customer. Featherlite’s eight-year limited warranty now stays with trailers when traded in at a Featherlite dealer for a new Featherlite trailer.

Rounding out Featherlite’s star innovations is the new power lift package on the 3110 car trailer. This option tilts the trailer bed down to the ground, eliminating the need for ramps. It’s a feature that will especially appeal to farmers, contractors and landscapers.

More standard features

The 2010 Featherlites also come with new standard features. One of these eye-catching features is offering chrome glass windows as standard equipment. This feature was previously restricted to Featherlite’s premium Medalist trailers, and it adds a lot of style to trailers. Standard chrome glass is a feature unique to Featherlite—no other company provides this!

High quality, high value

Featherlite has pioneered innovative new manufacturing techniques, creating models that are more economical for trailer owners. These trailers will still provide all the essential features consumers have come to expect from a Featherlite.

Among these new trailers are the 8117 stock trailer and the 8414 and 8415 combo trailers. Featherlite has also applied these new innovations to an existing trailer, Model 8107, making it even more affordable.

Sierra “Lite” Living Quarters will be welcome to trailer buyers on a budget, too. This option is for horse trailer owners who want frugality without sacrificing all the frills.

Exciting new options

Trailer buyers will love Featherlite’s extended options. WERM flooring eliminates the need for rubber mats, yet still offers a padded ride for horses. And options such as new color selections, tri-color trailers, painted “wave” side panels and aluminum wheels give trailers an eye-catching look no matter where people go.

Ice fishing, campers and truck beds

Featherlite is aggressively targeting niche markets with their new releases. North American residents above the Mason-Dixon Line will love the “Freedom” trailer for ice fishermen. This comfortable trailer boasts sofa and swing-down beds, a kitchenette, bath and a flat screen TV. It also has fresh water and electricity inputs, and a hydraulic lift lets the trailer sit flush against the ice. Why get bored waiting for the fish to bite?

The Freedom serves double duty in the summertime as a toy hauler, perfect for ATVs, motorcycles or bicycles. It also makes a wonderful trailer to take on extended camping or hunting trips.

Another trailer well-suited to outdoor activities is the 1609 “Mod Pod,” especially with its new camper package. The “Mod Pod” transforms from trailer to camper in minutes and is tough enough to take off the beaten path. This is a trailer for cyclists, hikers and other explorers.

Also new for 2009 is Featherlite’s redesigned radius-style pickup truck bed. The bed offers a “headache rack”, stake pockets and a trap door to install a gooseneck or fifth wheel connection.

Featherlite partners with exciting new series ‘Saddle Up with Dennis Brouse’ on PBS
Show combines training techniques with heartwarming stories

           CRESCO, Iowa/December 23, 2008—Featherlite Trailers is excited to announce its partnership with Saddle Up with Dennis Brouse, a new television series that celebrates the relationship between horse and human that will debut in January of 2009. The first season of this 13-part series will debut on PBS stations across the country.

            The host, Dennis Brouse, is a highly respected and experienced horse trainer. “Whether you own a horse or just love to watch them in the movies, we’ll explore our storied partnership with this magnificent animal,” Brouse said. “The series will appeal to everyone from the serious horse owner to the arm-chair rider. We’re grateful to public television and our sponsors American Cowboy, Featherlite, Fund for Horses and Gold Buckle Network for making this possible.”

            Shot in high definition (HD), each episode will showcase a specific training question or situation addressed by Brouse with the horse's owner. This training thread is integrated into each show as a means to increase the audience’s understanding of horses. Special features will take viewers on a powerful and emotional journey into the horse world, highlighting everything from the mounted police to hippotherapy, along with segments on special breeds and classes of horses.

            A Featherlite living quarters horse trailer will be used during the production of the show. “Featherlite is proud to support Saddle Up with Dennis Brouse and their great work conveying the compelling stories of the relationship between horse and rider,” Randy Lewis, Featherlite national sales manager, said.

            Brouse has been working with horses since the age of 14. After spending time learning to train horses “the old fashioned way,” he quickly realized that he was at odds with this method. Since 1996, Dennis has spent thousands of hours studying and fine-tuning his training methods. In 2002, he produced his first series of training tapes, and shortly thereafter produced a television show that aired on RFD-TV.

            Saddle Up with Dennis Brouse is produced by GlassOnion Productions and distributed by Executive Program Services (EPS). Horse enthusiasts are encouraged to check their local public television station listings for air times, or contact their local station (http://www.pbs.org/stationfinder/stationfinder_relocalize.html) to make sure this program is shown in their area. Visit http://www.saddleupwithdennisbrouse.com for a sneak peek of the show.

Featherlite launches new websites created for today’s trailer customers

            CRESCO, Iowa/November 10, 2008—Featherlite Trailers has launched two new interactive websites that are more kinetic and “customer-centric” than ever before. Enhancements include the Featherlite Online Trailer Builder, Request a Quote and Model Comparison features, among many others, as well as a complete aesthetic redesign.

            One of the new sites, http://www.fthr.com, focuses on Featherlite’s consumer trailer models – car, recreation, livestock, horse and commercial/utility. The second site, http://www.featherlitespecialty.com, spotlights the dynamic Featherlite business-to-business segments. This includes the famed Featherlite racecar transporters used by NASCAR, IRL and other racing sanction teams. The major portion of the site illuminates the extensive capabilities that Featherlite has designing and manufacturing dynamic mobile facilities for business, corporate, government and professional sports organizations.

            Both sites use audio and video extensively to tell the story of the product lines of the nation’s leading aluminum specialty trailer brand, which this year celebrates the 35th anniversary of its first all-aluminum trailer.

            One of the most interactive elements of the new Featherlite consumer website is the Featherlite Online Trailer Builder. This online trailer configurator has been implemented for horse trailers first with the other product lines to follow in the future. Online visitors answer a series of questions to receive trailer matches based on their hauling preferences. They can then alter the trailer’s color online before perusing through many popular trailer options to add to their horse trailer.

            Throughout the process, the pricing summary will change based on the user’s selections. Upon the completion of building their horse trailer, the web viewer can automatically email their summary of selections to their nearest dealer for the dealer’s best pricing. Or they can print the summary and take it into their dealer for their best deal. The configurator also includes save and send to friend features.

            “The new Featherlite web resource will provide customers a smooth, highly intuitive and visually exciting journey,” according to Featherlite spokesman John K. Hall, director of marketing communications. “Visitors can hear and see comments by Featherlite owners addressing key issues of interest to trailer shoppers. Visitors also can review the attributes of Featherlite trailers interactively, selecting elements on which they most want information.”

            The new fthr.com website also includes additional means of communication with customers’ nearest dealers, like a feature that allows visitors to get a quote from their closest dealer on a specific model. An enhanced dealer finder allows people to search for their dealer by zip code, state or country. Featherlite has also conveniently added a Google Map for visitors to get directions to their nearest dealer.

            According to a survey by the Pew Internet Project, 81% of Internet users look for information online about a service or product they are thinking of buying. “In the 35 years since Featherlite introduced its first trailer, the ways trailer buyers look for information has changed dramatically,” Hall said. “With the new Featherlite websites, we’re allowing trailer buyers instant access to information that is important in their purchasing decision.”

            Other additions to the new website include a model by model comparison where potential trailer owners can compare up to three trailer models side by side and print the comparison. Web users will also find tips for selecting a trailer, common trailer terms and definitions and overall more information on Featherlite models, features and options.

            Featherlite’s product line of car, recreation, livestock, horse and commercial/utility trailers are sold through an international dealer network of 220. Featherlite specialty trailer are sold through Featherlite’s corporate headquarters, located in Cresco, Iowa.

At 2008 Quarter Horse Congress, Featherlite® Trailers answers the question:
‘What’s the Big Idea?’

CRESCO, Iowa/Sept. 4, 2008—At the Ohio All American Quarter Horse Congress, the largest equine event in the nation, Featherlite® (www.fthr.com) the “Official Trailer” of American Quarter Horse Association and the Quarter Horse Congress, is rolling out the “biggest ideas” in the horse trailer industry with its remarkable new 2009 models. Not all of Featherlite’s Big Ideas have to do with size, even though one of the trailers to be on display is an eye-catching giant, measuring over 50-ft. long.

“This not only is the biggest custom horse trailer allowable on the road—spanning 53-ft. from stem to stern and 13-ft. 6-inches tall, it will be the most stunning,” said Randy Lewis, Featherlite national sales manager. “This trailer will be decked out with over 90 special options—and that doesn’t even include those in the living quarters.”

This horse trailer model, which will be on view at the Featherlite outdoor display across the street from the Quarter Horse Congress Annex building, has massive luxury living quarters with four slide outs that dramatically expand the interior space. Behind the owners’ living quarters is an upper-deck three-horse slant load plus one-horse straight load configuration. If no horse is transported in the straight-load stall, there is enough room to garage a golf cart or ATV for the trip.

The western-style Featherlite Sierra living quarters is 33-ft. long and has all the amenities of a luxury condo. Interior features include a slate-finished fireplace, copper sinks, a breathtaking kitchen and a ceiling adorned with ostrich saddle leather trayed with silver tin coffers. Visitors enter this massive trailer with entrance steps of ceramic tile. Inside they will see custom leather furniture, hand-scraped old barn hickory floors in 5-inch planks, cedar-lined closets and a 32-inch flat screen TV that emerges from behind the mantle with a remote-control power lift. It also has solid surface countertops and shower and solid maple cabinetry. Outside the trailer has a self-seeking satellite dish, Girard awning and custom graphics among many other features.

On the other end of the spectrum, Congress visitors can see a completely new Featherlite configuration, “Warm Blood” Model 9407 two-horse bumper pull. This special straight-load configuration has no mangers and carries its lowest price point ever.

Need a place to relax between rides? You’ll want to see the Featherlite “Wii®”-configured trailer. This 23-ft. double slide has a rear bedroom that doubles as an entertainment suite. It sports a leather fold-out electric couch, a wet bar and a Nintendo Wii. You can play friends and family in the room or online. Want more? There is also a Wii gaming console outside on the trailer! Visitors can stop by the booth and sign up for the Wii Tournament during Congress with prizes awarded to winners.

Dynamic dual-color Featherlite trailers are finding an intense following after their official introduction at the 2008 Featherlite International Dealer Meeting. At Congress Featherlite introduces a number of equine trailers with dual-color side sheets. These striking trailers promise to stop viewers in their tracks at shows and events.

Among the other introductions at Congress will be the “Euro” Featherlite that incorporates features enjoyed by international horse owners into Featherlite’s distinctive American platform. The Euro Featherlite is configured so that horses can be loaded from the rear and unloaded through the front. Mangers are engineered into both trailer sides for extraordinary storage capacity. And a large “vending” door is positioned in the front of the trailer. The door lifts up on a horizontal hinge to allow more light and air to flood into the horse area, creating a more compelling environment for horses that are sometimes hard to load.

Among the other Featherlites to be on display is a bumper pull living quarters with a front slide out and a Medalist Series with polished Wave sides, frameless windows, heavy-duty 2-inch double seal feed doors and LED strip lighting inside the horse area among other special features.

“We have never introduced so many new trailer configurations at Congress,” Lewis said. “We believe visitors will enjoy seeing these--and the rest of the “big ideas” from Featherlite.

“This is an exciting event for us. It showcases the skill and knowledge of the people at Featherlite who actually make these extraordinary trailers. And it demonstrates that no other trailer manufacturer in the nation can do what Featherlite does.”

Paul Zepf: After its first hundred days as UTC’s largest shareholder, Corporate Partners II has seen a unique strength emerge through the alliance of a large investment firm and the leading American specialty trailer company. From a number of perspectives, including capital resources, having an investment fund the size of Corporate Partners’ in support of Universal Trailer is unique in the industry.

GateHouse Media: What attracted CP to an investment in this trailer company?

Paul Zepf: We were attracted to UTC based on the strength of the company’s products and management, and its leading market positions.

GateHouse Media: The overall economy being what it is, how has UTC performed?

Paul Zepf: Despite a difficult economy and high commodity prices since we first made our investment, UTC is performing in‐line with our expectations, largely the result of the steps management has taken to adjust to the current environment.

GateHouse Media: What stands out since CP entered into the relationship?

Paul Zepf: In the past four months UTC has showcased new product innovations at each of four dealer conventions, launched national retail promotions and brought greater efficiencies to its manufacturing facilities in seven states.

GateHouse Media: How does CP function managerially with UTC?

Paul Zepf: We made the investment in UTC to support the company and the management teams at each of the [divisions]. We bring to the table substantial capital resources and management counsel, and provide assistance in strategic development, both internally and through potential acquisitions. Going forward, these additional resources should position Universal Trailer well ahead of others in the competitive marketplace.

GateHouse Media: What do you see looking forward?

Paul Zepf: The first four months held few surprises. We did a lot of work and spent months researching the industry and Universal Trailer Corporation before investing. From this effort, I believe we developed a good understanding of the industry, the market environment and each of the UTC subsidiaries. The current market is challenging and metal prices have spiked upwards, but UTC management has made adjustments to operate profitably in this environment. Corporate Partners II expects to continue to work with UTC to build on its existing strengths. This relationship can effect higher performance in the current environment as well as in the coming upturn. Our efforts will continue to enhance our important relationships with our distribution partners and end customers.

Featherlite introduces 2009 ‘PerfectFit’ Living Quarters with striking new décor selections plus other enhancements

CRESCO, Iowa/May 8, 2008 — Featherlite® Trailers continues to transform the traveling and buying experience of horse owners with the introduction of striking new 2009 décor options now available through the popular PerfectFit™ System. Plus, Featherlite has expanded its options with recent enhancements to its entire horse trailer line.

PerfectFit Living Quarters
The PerfectFit System is a new process that allows the horse trailer to be designed around the horse owner and their horses, without the custom price. Previously featured only on select living quarters models, it is now available on Featherlite’s entire line of horse and livestock trailers.

Along with the introduction of the expanded PerfectFit System, Featherlite has many new décor options available. In 2007, Featherlite first partnered with Sierra Custom Interiors to produce Featherlite’s entire line of living quarters interiors, which continues today.

Among its new options is an expanded selection of cabinet woods including Aged Paulownia (dark oak), Farmyard Hickory, Moving Walnut and Trinity Oak, in addition to the traditional choices. There is something for everyone in the 2009 assortment of fabric selections for seating or valances including extra this year, a medley of upgraded exotic leather seating options, featuring a number of animal patterns.

Standard flooring is linoleum, which in 2009 models features more stone walk qualities. Upgrades to ceramic or hardwood are available.

In addition to cabinets, flooring, seating and valances, major selections for new living quarters customers are wall covering, ceiling and countertops. After designing the “look and feel” of their interior, the customer will move on to other amenities such as entertainment options. A popular entertainment choice for many living quarters owners recently has been the stereo with DVD and surround sound and optional XM satellite radio. Other popular options include an electric fireplace, electric awning with wind sensor and remote control and the dishwashing drawer option. A new option for 2009 models is a retractable screen door that is more desired by some living quarters owners.

“The PerfectFit System makes the selection process of interior options and floor plans much easier for customers when they meet with their local Featherlite dealer to order their living quarters,” Featherlite National Sales Manager Randy Lewis said. As always, if a customer doesn’t want to go through the selection process, dealers have a range of living quarters inventory on their sales lots for customers to select from.

With the new PerfectFit, customers will see the consolidation of Featherlite’s living quarters models down to one model with more options, the Model 8581. “Our previous model offering was larger and more complicated, but each of the models was more limited in its selections,” Lewis said. “The PerfectFit System puts the focus more on the configuration, layout and functionality of the trailer. The customer ends up getting more choices and superior value.”

The process begins with the customer selecting their required number of horse stalls, the short wall length and the width of the trailer. Then dealers will let customers pick from a wide array of interior floor plans and the major décor options before focusing more narrowly on specific features and options. This continues until the trailer meets their exact requirements.

New options
Horse owners have exciting new options when configuring their Featherlite horse trailer including a redesigned swing out saddle rack and polished ‘Wave’ side panels. New Medalist Series options include dramatically distinctive frameless windows and heavier duty feed doors.

Enhancements made to Featherlite’s standard features include a new rubber hold down that more securely holds the feed door in place when in the down position during hauling. In addition, Featherlite’s ‘Wave’ side panels were enhanced to include a new trim that further completes the distinctive look of these sleek aluminum side panels.

“Styling and convenience were the focal points for the new options and features selected for our 2009 models,” Lewis said.

For more information on the 2009 models available now, see a Featherlite dealer or call 800-800-1230 for a brochure or go to the Featherlite website at www.fthr.com/tnews.

Featherlite New ‘PerfectFit™ System’ Matches Customer to ‘Perfect’ Horse Trailer at a Lower Price

CRESCO, Iowa (Oct. 12, 2007) – Owning a horse trailer that is designed around the particular, detailed needs of the customer has never been easier, thanks to a streamlined new system unveiled today by Featherlite Trailers. Deemed the “PerfectFit™” System, it takes the customer through an easy 7-step process that culminates in a “perfect trailer match” for them and their horses.

“I guess you’d say we’re in the matchmaking business,” Featherlite National Sales Manager Randy Lewis says with a smile. “Every horse trailer customer has a different idea what they want in their trailer because each horse owner is unique in their own way. They know their horses have individual requirements, too. So we adapted our system to create the “perfect” horse trailer for each individual

“The beauty of the new Featherlite ‘PerfectFit’ is that the customer can get a trailer customized to them but doesn’t have to pay a custom price.”

The PerfectFit System is available on all Featherlite enclosed horse trailers including 9-ft. living quarters and under.

Featherlite dealers also have many horse trailer models in stock on their sales lots. The PerfectFit System allows them to more accurately pre-order popular models with the most wanted accessories.

To focus on the horse trailer model that is best for them, each customer can go down a list of seven questions with their dealer. “Do you want a gooseneck or bumper pull” is the first, followed by questions on load type, stall size, number of horses, preferred width and height and size of dressing room. From there the customer can select from an almost unlimited array of features and options.

“Featherlite trailers come with a lot of superior features standard—including patented slam latch dividers for security, Light-Flo feed doors for better ventilation, striking new “Wave” panels, L.E.D. lights for style and visibility and now dynamic wraparound rear lights, to name a few,” Lewis said. “Beyond those, many horse trailer customers want more choices so their trailer becomes unique to them. Featherlite is pleased to offer a selection unmatched by any other horse trailer manufacturer.”

Featherlite is the nation’s oldest aluminum specialty trailer brand. Its aluminum uni-body construction is known for extraordinary towing ease, extreme durability with only routine maintenance, continuing innovation and advanced safety features that help protect animals during transport.

For more information, see a Featherlite dealer, call 800-800-1230 or check the Featherlite website at www.fthr.com/tnews .

Working harder to provide continuing innovation.

Featherlite unveils new ‘super durable’ 2007 SURVs designed for avid outdoor enthusiasts

It’s a traveling ‘home on the range’ with new features and garage

CRESCO, Iowa / July 17, 2006 – Outdoor activities – from riding ATVs, motorcycles and dirt bikes to maneuvering dune buggies to hunting and fishing – continue to grow in popularity. With that growing popularity are people’s desires to travel to their recreational activities for days at a time and still feel at home. Featherlite’s Sport Utility Recreational Vehicles (SURV), including its new 2007 models, features and options, continue to offer that luxury to outdoor enthusiasts.

Featherlite, the leading manufacturer of NASCAR race car transporters, has built its legendary hauling capacity and impressive durability into every SURV model.

Featherlite’s new SURV for 2007 is Model 7925. A bumper pull, the 7925 is 28-feet long and includes a cargo wall, which creates a 10 ½-feet length in the garage and cargo area. “The cargo wall allows for a separate area from the living quarters for hauling and storing ATVs, motorcycles, dirt bikes, dune buggies, off-road vehicles or outdoor equipment,” Featherlite National Sales Manager Randy Lewis said. “It means a neater, cleaner, more efficient space all around.”

New Model 7925 comes with a standard goucho sofa and dinette in the living quarters portion, in addition to a refrigerator, cooktop stove, restroom with shower and toilet, vanity with sink, closets, colorful graphics and more.

In addition to the new Model 7925, Featherlite’s SURV product line includes Models 7924 and 7943. Model 7943 is available in 24, 28 and 32-feet lengths plus the length of the gooseneck. New for 2007, the 28 and 32-feet lengths, are available with the “garage wall package” that creates the cargo wall that separates the garage and living area. Model 7943, as well as Model 7924, each include two fold-down benches, a refrigerator, cooktop stove, restroom with shower and toilet, vanity with sink, cabinets and an optional pull down queen bed in the rear. The 7943 also includes a bed in the gooseneck.

New standard features now available on all Featherlite SURVs include cargo netting that is above all overhead cabinets in SURVs with the cargo wall, which allows for additional interior storage space. Also standard is Featherlite Gripstar rear ramp lining that is designed to grip the tires of the recreational vehicle for a smooth, slip-resistant entry into and out of the garage area. The SURVs also come with a 100-gallon fresh water tank, a porch light and lighted grab handle at the entrance of the living quarters, a new sliding shower stall door, a wall mounted thermostat and six tie downs per trailer for securing cargo.

“In addition to hauling motorized recreational vehicles, Featherlite SURV trailers are perfect for hunters, fishermen, rock climbers and other outdoor enthusiasts for hauling all their outdoor gear while on trips away from home,” Lewis said.

Many new options are available with Featherlite SURV trailers including 110-volt flat screen TVs, electric double queen beds, a portable exterior grill, 20 gallon fueling station and exterior speakers. Featherlite SURVs come with a standard Route 66 décor package, but SURV owners can also choose from Featherlite’s Red Glory, Simulated Pine and Simulated Oak décor packages.

Featherlite has been building all-aluminum trailers since 1973 for hauling cars, ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, horses and more. Featherlite also manufactures race car transporters for leading professional race car teams and is the official trailer of NASCAR.

“Unlike some toy haulers that are made of steel, fiberglass or wood, Featherlite’s SURV trailers are manufactured with premium, corrosion-resistant aluminum that is lighter, more durable and easier to tow,” Lewis said. “Featherlite’s construction allows for heavier load capacity and more years on the road. In addition, Featherlite SURVs have a lower floor height that makes loading motorized recreational vehicles and equipment easier.”

Featherlite unveils Medalist Series with advanced styling and inventive features
Featherlite Medalist available on over 85 horse trailer models

CRESCO, Iowa / May 15, 2006 – Inspired by horse owners who yearn for a horse trailer built ‘their way’, Featherlite, Inc., the nation’s oldest specialty aluminum trailer brand, has unveiled its Featherlite Medalist Series. Featherlite’s new generation of aluminum horse trailers offer a unique blend of advanced styling and inventive features customized to the specific needs of horse owners and their horses.

“Featherlite has incorporated many new innovative features into the Featherlite Medalist that creates a stunning trailer, both inside and out,” Randy Lewis, Featherlite national sales manager, said. “The Featherlite Medalist Series was truly designed and built for discerning horse owners.” The Featherlite Medalist is available on over 85 models in bumper pull, gooseneck and living quarters platforms.

The Medalist Series helps redefine horse transportation through advanced features found in the horse area. Those unique features include L.E.D. strip lighting that lines the ceiling on both sides of the horse area. This strip lighting, combined with white aluminum lined and insulated ceiling and walls, offers a lighter, more comfortable horse area for loading and traveling. Another safety feature in the horse area are Featherlite “safety guard” cushioned stall pads. In addition to the horse area, the dressing room includes upscale interior L.E.D. strip lighting.

A range of external innovations also add to the distinctive style of the Medalist Series. They include polished cast corner caps, a three-dimensional aluminum feather on the front of the trailer, radius rear frame with wraparound lights, L.E.D lights and a sturdy .063 aluminum skin. Some models feature aluminum or stainless steel corrugations that run the entire length of the trailer from the drop to the rear.

The Featherlite Medalist features chrome glass windows and feed doors that help reflect light and heat from the horse area and add to the enhanced appearance. Other features include internal rear door hardware, heavy-duty camper doors and an extended gooseneck length for more space and storage.

A unique option available on the Medalist Series is an electric saddle rack that extends down and out from the trailer with the push of a button, making it easer to maneuver the saddles. Other options include Featherlite 06 series aluminum wheels and a stainless steel s-drop enclosure on the gooseneck models.
