A Brief History of Big Tex Trailers
Big Tex Trailers was founded in Texas in 1982 by Ricky Baker in the Midland/Odessa area of West Texas with a clear goal: build dependable trailers that can handle demanding workloads without unnecessary complexity. Over the decades, the company has grown into one of the largest professional-grade trailer manufacturers in the U.S.
Key milestones:
- Expanded nationwide dealer network for easy service and parts access
- Investment in powder coating and corrosion resistance technologies
- Development of specialized trailers for construction, agriculture, and commercial hauling
- Integration into a larger manufacturing group to scale production and innovation
Today, Big Tex trailers are engineered for consistency. You know what you are getting every time, whether you are hauling a compact tractor or a full load of materials.
What Sets Big Tex Apart
BigTex trailers stand out from the competition for a variety of reasons, but most of all, it’s the BigTex community that differentiates the brand.
- Built for Work, Not Show: Big Tex focuses on function first. Reinforced frames, heavy-duty axles, and practical deck layouts help reduce downtime and increase productivity.
- Nationwide Dealer Support: With one of the largest dealer networks in the country, parts and service are easier to find. That matters when your trailer is tied to your income.
- Powder-Coated Finish: Big Tex uses a professional-grade powder coating process that helps resist rust in wet Northwest conditions.
- Wide Product Range: From utility trailers to goosenecks and dump trailers, Big Tex offers a model for nearly every use case.
- Strong Resale Value: Because of brand recognition and durability, Big Tex trailers tend to hold value well in the secondary market.
Why Customers Choose Big Tex in Oregon and Washington
Customers in the Pacific Northwest face unique challenges: rain, mud, elevation changes, and long hauling distances. Big Tex trailers are built to handle these conditions.
Common buyer motivations:
- Contractors: Dependable equipment hauling with minimal maintenance
- Landscapers: Easy loading and unloading for daily jobs
- Farm and ranch owners: Versatility across multiple tasks
- Homeowners: Long-term reliability for property and DIY projects
If your trailer sits unused because it cannot handle the job, it becomes a liability. Big Tex is built to stay in rotation.
