About Stoughton Trailers

Stoughton trailers on our list
Our eligible equipment list includes Stoughton 53-foot dry vans and 53-foot reefer trailers. These are core freight trailers used by carriers, private fleets and leasing companies across North America.
How lenders view Stoughton trailers
Dry vans and reefers have deep resale markets, which supports financing for new and used units. Lenders review model year, walls, floor, roof, doors, axles and tires, and on reefers the refrigeration unit's hours and service records.
Financing Stoughton trailers
Carriers often finance trailers in groups as they add freight. Owner-operators with their own authority may finance a trailer with their tractor. Lenders look at freight contracts and the ratio of trailers to tractors.
How Stoughton equipment financing works
Most Stoughton purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
Stoughton equipment we help finance
Financing Stoughton trailers
Trailers are financed alongside trucks or on their own. Lenders review trailer type (dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, lowboy, dump), model year, axle and suspension setup and, for reefers, the refrigeration unit's hours. Standard dry vans and flatbeds resell widely, while specialized trailers depend more on the buyer's contracts.
Stoughton trailers on our eligible equipment list include Stoughton 53 ft Dry Van Trailer and Stoughton 53 ft Reefer Trailer.
What lenders check on a Stoughton trailer
Lenders look at model year, odometer reading, engine and emissions history, and your driving or operating experience. Long-haul use is often reviewed more closely than local or vocational work.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and kilometres or miles, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Stoughton equipment
In Canada, trucks and tractors designed for hauling freight with a gross vehicle weight rating over 11,788 kg generally fall in CCA Class 16, while other trucks and vehicles generally fall in Class 10. Trailers have their own rules, so confirm the class with your accountant. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
