I love your channel, small world. I've been working in the factory that makes big Tex trailers in Tigertown Texas as a welder for two years now . I hope you're liking it. And ignore the ranch hand haters
Joseph from Texas: I love our trailer so far! You might have been the one who welded it together. awesome! thanks for you hard work brother.
I use a Big Tex auto hauler for my rock crawler jeep. Fairly sturdy, great price, and the lighting is quality. I backed into a pile of dirt and a rear light popped out instead of imploding and crushing. It took no tools to put it back, no damage, nice design.
Also hauling with an F350
Your reviews are always so detailed and intricate. Very big fan of that. 👌🏽👌🏽
WOW!! a stereo system on a golf cart. and all that lighting on a golf cart.
BIG JOE 245 dude gets off on lighting i guess. his truck is the same way
I have Big Tex 5' by 10' that is going on 20 years old. It has been a solid trailer ever since I bought it from Wallace trailer sales who are in Franklin Tn now.
Very nice trailer. Much nicer than my Tractor Supply special.
i have the same trailer. its really good! i paid 1500 and got the spare tire and tire rack. the gate is heavy so i recommend getting a gorilla gate lift or fabricating some garage door springs for 30 bucks. i replaced the front jack with a side mount jack with a wheel instead of the sandfoot. the round tube makes mounting lawncare racks a pain unless you get equipment defender jacks. i also put 2 5/4 deckboards around the sides so i could haul wood.
Great video, youll love the trailer. I have the same trailer but its painted gray got it for just over a thousand the day after christmas. Just bought an electric jack for it, hope all goes well on the install. The only problem I have had with my trailer is I have to turn the lights on my truck for the turn signals to work properly. If not all the lights on the back will flash.
My dad has Big Tex 50LA and it's by far the best trailer he has owned.
Nice looking cart there. I too travel with my golf cart. I have had all kinds of toys over the years and this one is one of the funnest I have owned. I have the V-twin 24 hp Honda engine. Two Kenwood 10 inch subs, to 6.5 Kenwoods in the front and 2 5 1/2 kickers in the back. I have Port Aransas on my bucket list. Looks like a awesome place.

Might have to purchase yourself a F550 to pull that golf cart!!! lol
I love that thing! It's a mobile party 😂
seat pattern is ostrich.... Identical to a pair of boots I own... Very nice..
Would be cool if you could tow the trailer with the Easygo on the beach lol
That is one gangster cart!
Lol in my neighborhood people just ride golf carts dirty bikes pretty much everything and no one gives any trouble to anyone which is kinda cool
use a 18ft landscape trailer day in and day out. I only payed $1800 new for it back in 2010. You can find them new now for $2400, but I will say they are not made as well as that big tex. I have over 100k miles on my trailer and I have had to do a lot of trailers. After 7 years of use metal fatigue is a real issue. That trailer if over built for your use, but it will wear well.
I bought that same size trailer and paid $2400 at a big tex dealer in IDAHO in 2020
Those hitch locks are worthless. Lookup Bosnianbill he does lock security. He gets though that Reese lock you have in 2 seconds.
FishFind3000: I appreciate that. I have already ordered a new lock since watching.
Given that you have the F-450 I was expecting a gooseneck or 5th wheel big tex! That's more the trailer someone like me would buy so it was informative, I just wanted to see big equipment! Are you planning to tandem tow that behind your camper? Of course you are!
Hey BTBRV, I'm late to the party - but do you have the overall width measurement for the 35SA (including tires/fenders?) Wanting to know if it will fit in my garage. Great video - that EX go is wild! Thanks!
I don't recall. Sorry
Personal preference I prefer the 84" deck. The wide trailer is a little easier to keep in view while towing.
would love to see video on led lighting
Nice cart and trailer!! Should look me up next time when your in Houston.
Wonder Whats Next: definitely
I have this exact trailer. Prob 5 years old. The wiring harness on mine fell apart gave me some problems. And the jack was in the worste position. Here’s a fact for your viewers with f 150s your tailgate will hit the jack so you can’t open the tailgate with the trailer attached. Silly silly design. My 250 clears it. But twice I was working using the trailer sat on my keys and remote opened my tailgate and it slammed the jack. Thank the Lord for aluminum tailgates no dents. But come on big Tex.
Is the ramp removable?
The seat pattern is ostrich. It may be fake ostrich (vinyl), real ostrich, or cow leather stamped to look like ostrich. Real ostrich skin is tough and soft and distinctive with all those spots (where the base of the feather entered the skin). Anyway it's a fancy prance upgrade, as that's what folks put in there classic Bugatti's and such. I like it.
Great video!!! But ouch!! I envy you getting this for $1500!! They are asking $3500 now
Tandem towing review
Chop chop LOL. Why must you post on things I am contemplating. Ranch Hand is installed and just today I thought about getting something like this to tamed, tow.
....so that's pretty much final now. Doing it.
C Nevs: lol. that's funny. I'm going to do a review on Gold plating Chevy trucks.... wanna beat me to it? jk
It doesn't make it VERY difficult to drive off with the trailer. Thieves just drop the lock lug in the hole in their bumper and they are gone. Then when they are gone they will take the time to cut that lock off.
I know in Alberta canada you can two dual trailers with one being a 5th wheel/gooseneck then the second trailer must be bumper pull. in Texas can you legally two two trailers with your pick up?
Looks like ostrich seats at least the pattern does
Can I ask what it is you do for a living? If you don't want to answer that is understandable.
scarmenl: I'm an Engineer and we also own a business
So they make those black oak lights with a flush mount flange?
you should do a review of a Lincoln and a Durango it would really be helpful to get a second opinion on what I should get
Sergio Durazo: funny thing is my wife had a 2013 Durango Citadel two vehicles ago. Nice, just not as much room and a TON of recalls.
has the Lincoln had any issues
Sergio Durazo: none I'm the year we've had it
i just bought the same trailer today in tulsa. i paid 1500 cash and i got the gate and spare tire.
lol i found my own comment from the day i bought it. im still satisfied with my purchase. my next purchase will be the vanguard with the 2 ft tall still sides and tandem axel.
That seat looks like ostrich leather.
i saw that golf cart on a 75th anniversary sturgis glencoe campground video.
Chris L.: really? have a link?
no link but, type in ' 75th sturgis glencoe camp resort official video' its at 5:36
Chris L.: close but not mine. mine is a 6 passenger. cool find though. thanks!
So are you planning on towing your Big Tex trailer behind your 5th wheel? That is legal here in Idaho but not Oregon. Nevada is OK with it too.
vppnbrent: though about it, but the wife will tow it with her Navigator
Question do you pull this behind your 5th wheel? And what is the law in Texas for towing a double.
jasonman1515 yeah I'm also curious how you tow both with you
They’re 2,895 now Lol
Any updates on the golf cart?
I'm very unhappy with my trailer, hate the round top rail!
where in Houston did you get the cart, my kids would go crazy cruzin in LIV in something like that
duce villegas: it was a private seller.
Ok thank you
the material is ostrich or supposed to resemble it at least
getting ready to pack it in after 41 yr. in Real Estate. There are a lot of 5th wheelers out, we will be looking in the 35' range. Any preference to a manufactor? More than likely we will be full time. I like all your video's. If I am not mistaken you have a 5th wheeler yourself?
Daniel Hilts: the key is getting a unit rated for full time living. We have a Coachmen Chaparral that we love but I'm not sure I would trust it as a full time fifth wheel. Generally I would suggest a DRV, LUXE, or even a high end Forest River brand like the Cedar Creek or Cardinal
thanks for the feed back, will keep those the in mind as I do my research. Great site, very informative.
Daniel Hilts: if you want to be more price focused then I would suggest Columbus or a Grand Design. 5 years ago I would have said Montana, but ive personally seen too many of their newer units with big problems. Same with high end Jaycos. Not saying thats everyone's experience, but what I've seen .
been looking at the Ambition, haven't seen a price point yet, thanks again for the up date.
those are great units. Full time rated figure wheels generally start around $65k (can be had for mid 50s) and run all the way to over $200k. Redwood, DRV, LUXE, and a few other are on the higher end. I'm at an RV park right now and there are quite a few full-timers as running sub $100k fifth wheels and love them. So, don't think that you NEED to be in the $100+ plus range.
A golf cart? That's gonna look a little funny when it's being towed by a big F-450. You should have gotten something like a side by side ATV
Graham Clarence: can't drive them on the beach. only properly equipped golf carts. plus, we tow it with our Navigator.
Big Truck Big RV it's not legal to drive them on the beach?
That's ostrich leather. I mean probably not real, but ostrich leather pattern.
I think it is Ostrich. Seen it on a bike before.. nice stuff.
You going to double tow?
What do you do for a living?
Cary Stone engineer
fuzzy wuzzy..There's a difference between a $45,000 truck and a golf cart DAAAAAA.
In my opinion, it is a little much for a golf cart.
Whaaaaatttt!!!!! No Ranch Hand products' reviews! I'm unsubscribing!
JK!
I hope y'all enjoy that little fun buggy.
And for all the naysayers out there, "RV" = "Recreational Vehicle!" That cart is a recreational vehicle by definition, and a rather large one at that, too. The Big Truck Big RV channel IS sticking to its roots, still. Y'all Keep your thumbs down in your bowl of pudding.
Im waiting for the Ranch Hand front bumper on that cart :)

looks like fun, and that looks like ostrich skin.
I need to add my two cents here. The ezzy go is Kool ! The trailer not so much. First things first, please say you'll be hauling this around with the wife's vehicle. Those top pipe rails are nothing more than something to attach wood and haul some rocks or something similar. Single axles is for the pretty city boys. I prefer a goose neck with at least two axles (heavy duty of course) with enough length to exceeds your expectations. Be careful with the goose neck area as this is the weak point and extra bracing is crucial. Always check the cross members for distance of space. I prefer 24" on a stock trailer. You will be very surprised what trailer manufactures space those. Always check tag for gvw and this is where you go big. Over kill on a trailer the better within reason. All this is coming from someone who has hauled heavy equipment for a living and the D.O.T. is not always friendly. I do like your reviews, maybe in the future you can explain tie downs, chains, come alongs, Clevices, etc.etc.
are you planning to tow it behind your 5th wheel?
jawad louazna: thought about it. but no, wife tows it behind the Navigator
faux ostrich
Your tape measure has the fractions written out on it. You should be ashamed.
+Chris Beach: I'm sorry, Lowe's didn't have a none specific version....lol
Big Truck Big RV , ha ha I hear you. I didn't do of very good job of conveying friendly banter in my comment, but you took it that way. Very cool.
BTW, I like your content, keep it up...( including all of the Ranch Hand reviews lol)
