Meet the Big Tex 70TV Vanguard Landscape Trailer

Landscape loads are their own category — tall, loose, shifting, and constantly on and off. The 70TV is Big Tex’s answer: an extra-wide 83″ Vanguard body with 29-3/8″ tall sides paneled in 24″ of v-crimped 16-gauge steel, strong enough to contain bagged mulch towers, brush, and equipment while protecting cargo from road spray. At 7,000 lbs GVWR on tandem 3,500 lb axles — with the 16′ build leaving about 5,155 lbs of payload — it hauls heavy-duty landscaping days behind ordinary trucks. Three body lengths from 12′ to 16′ size it to your route, and the whole package is built for the long haul.

Sides That Work

V-Crimped Steel Panels for Strength and Protection

The 70TV’s signature is its sides: 29-3/8″ tall with 24″ v-crimped 16-gauge steel panels whose corrugation adds rigidity the way ribs stiffen a panel — stronger walls without heavier steel. They keep loose loads in, cast-off debris and road spray out, and give the smooth steel surface an easy rinse-clean at day’s end.

An Honest Landscape Chassis

Tandem Axles, Wood Floor, and a Set-Back Jack

Under the body, tandem 3,500 lb axles with quick-lubricating hubs carry the 7,000 lb rating on ST205/75R-15 steel-belted radials — long-wearing rubber that rides smooth and sips fuel. The floor is treated pine or fir on a 4″ × 3″ angle frame, and the 2,000 lb top-wind jack is set back by design, so your truck’s tailgate drops without meeting the jack handle.

Details for Daily Routes

Tie Downs, Stake Pockets, a Spare, and an Optional Ramp Gate

Four tie-down loops inside the bed anchor equipment, four stake pockets on the frame add binding points, and a spare tire rides on its mount so a flat never ends the route. The 2″ Demco EZ-Latch coupler hitches fast, teardrop fenders keep the profile clean, and LED lighting handles DOT duty. Add the optional rear ramp gate and rolling stock — mowers, golf carts, ATVs — drives straight aboard, turning the Vanguard body into a full open-box hauler.

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 70TV puts that durability to work for the green industry every day.

Quick Answers Before You Order

Big Tex 70TV FAQs

These are some of the most common questions shoppers ask about the Big Tex 70TV before they decide to order. These FAQs break down what the 70TV is, how it’s built, pricing basics, and how ordering works through our dealership.

What makes the 70TV a landscape trailer rather than a plain utility?

The body. Its 29-3/8″ tall v-crimped steel sides contain tall, loose landscape loads — bagged mulch, brush, equipment — and protect cargo from road spray, where a low-rail utility trailer leaves everything exposed.

Yes — spec the optional rear ramp gate and rolling stock drives straight aboard. Many landscapers run exactly that setup: high sides for material, ramp gate for machines.
The 83″-wide Vanguard body comes in 12′, 14′, and 16′ lengths, all rated 7,000 lbs GVWR — the 16′ build leaves roughly 5,155 lbs of payload.
Pricing depends on the length and options you spec, and our in-stock units are priced to be competitive. Call or visit Mentor Golf Carts & Trailers for our current best price — and ask about financing while you’re at it.
Yes. If the exact build you want isn’t on the lot, we’ll place a factory order to your spec, quote the current lead time up front, and prep it when it lands — with Ohio pickup or nationwide delivery.
