• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Rt-622 vs Freedom vs ......

Looking at 2013 rt-622 for $3500. But..... If you buy non-Can Am trailer.. what effect on spyder warranty :shocked:.. and what about power module on trailer hitch.... will it work properly with "off brand" trailers?
 
Freedom Trailer - OK, but if you already have an RT-622, hang on to it.

I have never owned an RT-622, but purchased a Freedom Trailer to compliment my new 2015 RT-S.

The Freedom Trailer will serve the purpose, but it has nowhere near the refinement of the RT-622. The 622 main shell is one-piece. The Freedom Trailer is assembled over an inner skeleton/frame with body panels. You can see the body panels clearly (a bit unsightly) when you open the lid. Also, the fender cuts are true, but have a very evident appearance of being 'cut out'. I am installing edge guard to mitigate this. Finally, while the MSRP of the Freedom Trailer is $1K less than the entry point on the RT-622 (even the pre 2014 622s are going for retail), in order to bring the Freedom Trailer its highest standard, you are still going to spend almost $1K to purchase chrome trim for tail/lid and sides, a knife stand, inner liner, and storage cover. Had one interesting anomaly ... the keys that came with my FT don't work in its lock, so I'll have the dealer take care of that. Looks like a build/QC issue where they didn't set the key cylinder to the keys themselves. To access the lock cylinder on the FT, one has to remove the entire rear panel of the trailer.

The FT hooks up easy and tows great, just like the 622.

That is my story :sour:

Thanks for the response... I was just ready to pull the trigger on a Freedom when I found a 2013 Rt-622 on a dealer floor.... only 200 mi away - excuse for a short road trip :ohyea: By the time all is said and done, I will be within a couple hundred $$$ of the Freedom. Never pulled a trailer before but have heard that it is no sweat.
