What happens here

The presenter and Shane move to the rear of the trailer to demonstrate its features. They highlight the rear support stands for stability during loading and unloading, and the conveniently stored rear slide-out ramps. The tailgate system is shown to operate as a slam latch, automatically securing when closed, eliminating the need to manually latch it, a feature praised for its convenience over older designs. The interior of the bed includes four D-rings for securing loads, and wide fur boards along the top edges, noted to be Canadian lumber.

Goal: Demonstrate the functionality of the rear and tailgate features.

>> Not yet. No. >> Okay. Is that new gate system? So, this trailer does not have the new gate system, but they do have a new gate system out there >> coming up. We just saw it at the show back in September. >> When is that coming out? >> It is available on 2026 models rolling out soon. I just got an email on it the other day. Okay. >> So, we will see those, you know, in some of the next loads. >> And that's a that's a three-way gate system. >> Yeah. And we can get you some more information on that, too. >> Perfect. Okay. >> In the back, you've got some rear support stands that just drop down. So, if you are loading equipment, those will drop out of there. Got rear store ramps. Slides straight out of the back. Single latch makes it easy to open and operate the dump doors. They've got an automatic lock for your door hold back. Comes standard with four D-rings in the bed. Look at these wide fur boards on the top, too. That's Canadian lumber. So, that operates as a slam latch. Also, I didn't have to touch the latch when we close the doors. >> Mhm. >> Slam it shut. And that wedge just rotates the pin down into the holder. >> And that is not to be brushed over. >> Yeah. I've got a dump trailer where every single load I dump, I have to find a stick or pull a screwdriver out of the door. Shane's shaking his head because he knows exactly what I'm talking about because it has a ring where one slides into the other. And you know what that does? >> That holds all the dirt that I just dumped out. So every single time I'm just like, "Oh my god, it's just and it's an okay trailer." but there's design components of it that could be done better. And when you invest that kind of money into a piece of equipment, you don't want to think, "Oh, this could be done better." You want something, you want to make that decision where you you feel like you've made the best decision and gotten the most value out of your money that you possibly can. >> When you think about when you're using it daily like that, how many times that
