I have a question? Who owns the patent and the tooling for this guy because the basket allows for major travel and it seems like its such a waste to not be using it anymore.

I don't know how long a patent lasts but that woofer has to be 10 years old..... I'd be willing to bet that PG still has it but who knows for sure.

It just seems like they wasted a lot of time and effort with the design to only manufacture it for a couple of years. I wish they still produced them along with all the other cone assemblies they offered.

10 years.

Where I used to work, that's all they talked out about when they came up w/Duraplate. They said that the patent only lasts for 10 years so we need to sell the hell out of the Duraplate trailers.
