TRUSTED SINCE
1982
The Professional's Trailer Brand
Four Decades of Trailers Built for Work
Big Tex has been building trailers since 1982, growing into one of the most recognized names in the industry — the brand behind “America’s #1 professional-grade trailer” and the promise that they’re with you for the long haul. From single-axle utility trailers to commercial-grade dumps and heavy gooseneck haulers, the lineup covers nearly everything that gets towed to a job.
At Mentor Golf Carts & Trailers, we carry Big Tex because it matches how our customers actually use trailers: loaded often, towed far, and expected to work every single time. Walk our Ohio lot to compare models side by side, or custom order the exact Big Tex build your work calls for — with nationwide shipping available.

Why Choose Big Tex?
In Writing, From the Factory
Backed by a 1-Year Limited and 3-Year Structural Warranty
Every new Big Tex trailer is warranted to the original purchaser to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year under normal use. On top of that, the structure itself — the main frame, bottom rails, cross members, and sub frame — carries a 3-year limited structural warranty from Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing.
Components like tires, axles, brakes, springs, couplers, jacks, and batteries are warranted separately by their respective manufacturers, and our team will walk you through the full terms, exclusions, and claim procedure before you buy — so you know exactly what’s covered and how to use it.
