Big Tex 70PI

Tandem Axle Pipe Top Utility

The farm-and-ranch classic: an extra-wide 83″ deck under a strong 2″ × 2″ tube pipe top rail, rated at 7,000 lbs GVWR and sized in 14′ to 20′ lengths — the do-everything open trailer.

The Everything Trailer

Meet the Big Tex 70PI Pipe Top Utility Trailer

Ask a farm, a ranch, or a busy homestead what their trailer hauls and the honest answer is “whatever needs hauling.” The 70PI is built for exactly that: an extra-wide 83″ deck in 14′, 16′, 18′, or 20′ lengths, wrapped in a strong pipe top rail of 2″ × 2″ square tubing, rated at 7,000 lbs GVWR. Mentor stocks the 70PI — our current lot includes an 83″ × 16′ unit — because it’s the open trailer our customers reach for first: mowers on Monday, the side-by-side on Saturday, fencing supplies in between. Four tie-down loops inside the bed and forward self-adjusting brakes round out a spec built for everyday hauling.

Wide Where It Counts

An 83" Deck That Swallows Wide Equipment

The 70PI’s extra-wide 83″ deck is the difference between loading a zero-turn diagonally and loading it straight — deck space that fits wide mowers, ATVs and side-by-sides, pallets, and awkward farm loads without geometry puzzles. Four lengths from 14′ to 20′ let you size the deck to your longest regular load, and the treated wood floor takes years of dragging, dropping, and weather.

The Pipe Top Advantage

2" × 2" Square Tubing Rail, Built Strong

The signature pipe top rail runs the perimeter in 2″ × 2″ square tubing — structure that stiffens the whole trailer, gives straps and bungees a thousand anchor points, and shrugs off the bumps that bend lighter rails. Underneath, tandem 3,500 lb axles with quick-lubricating hubs and forward self-adjusting brakes carry the 7,000 lb rating; the 16′ build leaves about 5,020 lbs for payload.

Load It Your Way

Ramp Gate and Slide-In Ramp Options

Spec the 70PI with an optional 4′ rear ramp gate — with spring-assist configurations that make lifting one-handed — and rolling cargo like golf carts, ATVs, and side-by-sides drives right aboard. Prefer a clean rear? A 4′ slide-in ramp package stores flat and deploys when needed. Current X-configuration builds add working details like an adjustable forged coupler, set-back jack, stake pockets on the outside frame, side spare mount, and a complete breakaway system with charger — the small stuff that makes daily use effortless.

The Brand Behind the Build

Why Choose Big Tex?

Big Tex has been building professional-grade trailers since 1982 and bills itself as America’s #1 professional-grade trailer — a claim backed by heavy structural steel, a factory parts network, and warranty coverage in writing: a 1-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship plus a 3-year limited structural warranty on the frame. The 70PI has carried that reputation on farms and ranches for years.
