I bought an Infinity GN400 on 09/02/2009. I promised an opinion on it and here it is. The base price was $13,900.00 with the chrome wheel package and spare tire and wheel. I ordered it with the following upgrades. 9000K Pierce winch with wireless remote for $800.00. 3 aluminum ramps for $900.00. Electric over hydraulic disk brakes for $1600 for a total of $17,200.00. The trailer weights 7900lbs empty with all the straps, ramps, etc. on board.
My first impressions were that this was the trailer I always wanted!!
My second impressions are that it is still pretty close to my first impressions.
The trailer pulls like a dream and stops better than I could have imagined.
The lower deck is solid and the top deck is expanded metal so loading freight is possible. The loading angles are pretty good on the rear dove tail although the trailer is very low in the rear and drags quite a bit. It did not come with any kind of rear skids so I had them added on after I got it home. I also added 16 "D" rings for more tie down locations. I also added tire chain hangers on the front and a second spare tire rack. I will soon be adding an on-board compressor and 5 gal. air tank. The upper deck is 57" high at the rear point when the upper deck is in its max. raised position. This is not as high as I would like. I have found that many cars will not fit under this deck far enough to load 2 more cars behind it. This limits the trailer to 3 cars when they are to tall or have a short front bumper to windshield length. A corvette fits nice under the upper deck but a Honda Accord wont go all the way under the upper deck. Also the approach angle from the lower deck to the upper deck is a little to steep. I have come very close to rubbing a few front valance's. I fixed this problem by carrying 2 three foot long 2x10's to drive on before going on to the upper deck. I have had 3 E350 vans on here with ladder racks and parts bins on them and was within my weight range. The ramps on the rear do not come off the trailer (pin-on) so they don't go as wide as I would like. I will add more pics when I can find them.
So, there it is. If anyone has questions, please feel free to ask. Lee
