Equitrek endeavour 7.5ton

[Horsegirl25]

Anyone had the above lorry before? Looking to get something bigger.
Currently have the equitrek 3.5ton sonic elite and love it, planning to keep it but upgrade to something with living.
These seem to have good payloads and lovely livings. Would probably buy second hand maybe 14/15 plate.
Have always heard mixed reviews about equitrek but have always had a good experience with them.
Hoping the 7.5 is as good as the 3.5?

Why were you told to avoid? Never heard of a Kevin Parker I’ll look that up!

Agree Kevin Parker do good solid builds.

Equitrec are generally style over substance and seem to have a lot of niggles after a few years but I'm sure there's good and bad out there.

I was told they are Very hit and miss - there are some good ones but a lot are substandard. Look pretty but aren’t as solid as one might like…

I hired a fairly newish one a few months ago - good points were decent payload, easy to drive (automatic) and relatively compact. It had apparently needed a lot of snagging when it was first delivered - the ramp needed attention and the fittings seemed a bit fragile and it was very noisy and rattly on the motorway. When I test drove the box I went on to buy the difference was marked. The one I bought is older but much more solidly built and on air suspension which makes it much smoother for both humans and equines.
