What Is Texas Pride?

Texas Pride builds the DT series of bumper-pull dump trailers, and that series covers every Texas Pride dump unit compared here. The DT builds share the same telescopic hoist design and the same frame construction, with deck length, side height, and axle rating as the variables between them.

Specs

Texas Pride stock covers 14 ft and 16 ft decks at 14,000 and 16,000 lb GVWR, measuring 82 inches wide with a deck height near 26 inches. The main frame is 6" x 2" x 3/16" wall rectangular tubing with a 6-inch channel tongue and 3-inch channel crossmembers, and every unit unloads through a barn door with a spread gate.

Floor and side thickness varies by rating: the 14,000 lb units use 1/8 inch sheet steel for the floor and sides at 3 ft or 4 ft tall, and the 16,000 lb units use 3/16 inch sheet steel for both. Payload is 10,000 lbs on the 14k three-foot-side build, 9,800 lbs on the 14k four-foot-side build, and between 11,600 and 12,000 lbs on the 16k units.

Hydraulics are identical across the line: a multi-stage trunnion mount telescopic cylinder, a 1.7 gpm electric-over-hydraulic pump, a 15 ft corded remote, and a Group 24 deep cycle marine battery with an onboard charger. Axles are dual 7,000 or 8,000 lb direct lube 8-lug units with all-wheel electric brakes on slipper spring suspension, running ST235/80R16 radials at 10-ply on the 14k builds and 14-ply LRG on the 16k. A 12,000 lb drop leg jack, front locking toolbox, 14-gauge tread plate fenders, and a sealed modular wiring harness are standard, with ramps included on the 16 ft telescopic unit.

Reviews

Owners point first to the plate steel in the body, with the 3/16 inch floor and sides on the 16,000 lb builds standing up to broken concrete and dropped demolition debris. The telescopic cylinder draws praise for emptying a tall load cleanly rather than leaving material packed at the front of the bed, and the 4 ft side option is the other feature buyers name, since it adds volume without forcing a second trip.

Price

The 7' x 14' x 3' at 14,000 lb GVWR is priced at $9,488, the lowest entry point in the DT line, while the 7' x 14' x 4' with taller sides sits at $10,488.

Moving to 16,000 lb GVWR, the 16 ft telescopic lift build is $10,988 and the 16 ft telescopic cylinder unit with hydraulic jack is $11,988, the highest-priced Texas Pride dump currently in stock. The spread across the entire line is about $2,500, which keeps the decision on side height and axle rating rather than budget tiers.

Texas Pride's DT series spans 14,000 to 16,000 lb GVWR builds, priced from $9,488 to $11,988 on our lot.

What Is MAXX-D?

MAXX-D builds several dump trailer families, eight of which appear in our bumper-pull dump inventory: DKB, DJB, DJX, DTX, DTB, DDX, the compact D6B, and the 12 ft D7B. The model code identifies the hoist type and frame weight, not the trailer size, so two 14 ft MAXX-D dumps can differ substantially in construction.

Specs

Deck width measures 83 inches on the 14 ft and 16 ft builds, with the hoist varying by family: DKB models use a 5x16 industrial scissor hoist, DJB models a 6x20 scissor hoist, and DTX models a telescoping cylinder built into the frame.

The DKB8314 is the entry model, running a 14 ft deck at 14,000 lb GVWR on an 8" x 10 lb I-beam frame with 3 inch channel crossmembers on 16 inch centers, a 10-gauge steel floor, and 24 inch total side height built from 18 inch steel sides plus 6 inch board extensions. Payload is 9,450 lbs on dual 7,000 lb electric brake axles, with an empty weight of 4,550 lbs.

The DTX8316 runs a 16 ft deck at 16,000 lb GVWR on an 8" x 15 lb I-beam frame with the telescoping cylinder integrated, 3-inch channel crossmembers on 12-inch centers, a 7-gauge floor with 10-gauge sides, and 3 ft solid sides. Payload is 10,160 lbs on dual 8,000 lb axles with ST215/75R17.5 radial singles, and heavier builds include the DJB8314H and DTX8314 at 17,500 lb GVWR, carrying 11,365 and 11,915 lbs.

Standard equipment on the DKB includes a spare tire with mount, a pull-back tarp system, 7 ft slide-in ramps, a split spreader gate, flush-mount LED lighting, and a 10K drop-leg jack, while the DTX adds a wireless remote, a hydraulic jack, rear support stands, and a 7-watt solar panel.

Reviews

Buyers mention the factory equipment first, since the spare, pull-back tarp and 7 ft slide-in ramps arrive fitted instead of billed as add-ons. The 8-inch I-beam frame earns steady comments from crews running daily cycles, holding its shape through repeated loading and unloading, and the 5-year structural and 2-year comprehensive warranty is the other point owners raise, covering the frame and welds through a full commercial working cycle.

Price

The compact 5' x 10' D6B6010 at 9,990 lb GVWR opens the range at $7,998. The DKB8314 with 24-inch sides is $9,488, matching the Texas Pride entry price exactly, and the DKB8314 with 42-inch sides is $10,988.

Above that, the DJB8314 with 2 ft solid sides and a wireless remote is $11,988, the 17,500 lb DJB8314H and DTX8314 sit at $14,488 and $14,998, and the DTX8316 16 ft telescopic runs $16,988 to $16,998, with the 20 ft DDX9620 deckover tandem dual topping the range at $29,998. The $22,000 spread reflects a catalog that runs from light residential work up to commercial duty cycles.

MAXX-D spans eight bumper-pull dump families, from the $7,998 compact D6B to the $29,998 20 ft DDX deckover.

Texas Pride vs MAXX-D Dump Trailers: Comparison Table

Match Your Dump Trailer to the Load at Poplar Bluff Trailer

Specs, owner feedback, and pricing all point in the same direction. Texas Pride concentrates its value in a thick-plate dump body with telescopic hydraulics on every build, while MAXX-D spends it on an I-beam chassis, factory-fitted tarp, ramps and spare, and longer structural coverage suited to crews cycling a trailer daily.

Choosing between those two answers comes down to what you haul, and Poplar Bluff Trailer keeps both lines on one lot so you can compare frame section, floor gauge, and side height before you buy. Tell our sales team what your week looks like, then browse our live dump trailer inventory to find the unit built for it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between a scissor hoist and a telescopic cylinder?

A scissor hoist raises the bed with a single ram acting through a scissor linkage, which keeps cost down and handles standard dump cycles. A telescopic cylinder extends in stages from the front of the bed, producing a steeper dump angle that clears wet or sticky material more completely on each cycle.

How much can a 14,000 lb GVWR dump trailer actually haul?

Usable payload equals GVWR minus the empty weight of the trailer, so a 14 ft dump trailer rated at 14,000 lb GVWR weighing around 4,550 lbs empty leaves roughly 9,450 lbs of capacity. Options such as tarps, ramps and taller sides reduce that figure, so check the payload listed on the specific unit.

Does taller side height increase how much a dump trailer can carry?

Side height increases volume, since GVWR and axle rating stay fixed regardless of how tall the box is. A taller bed only helps with material light enough to fill the box before the axles reach their limit, which is why gravel and wet dirt haulers usually order shorter sides.

What truck do I need to tow a 16,000 lb GVWR dump trailer?

Match the loaded trailer weight against your truck's tow rating and rear axle capacity, both listed on the door jamb sticker. A 16,000 lb GVWR bumper-pull generally calls for a three-quarter ton or one ton truck fitted with a properly rated hitch and brake controller, so confirm the numbers for your specific truck before buying.
