Dump Trailers.....best one for the money??

I would think it has to do with the wiring not cracking if you bend it in severe cold, stays softer and not brittle in cold.

I thought it might be equipped with a hot cocoa dispenser

Google is your best friend.    It's a silicon jacketed wiring harness.

What was the cost of the upgrade?

All my upgrades we're free.....well at least they cost the same as the stock trailer sitting next to it.  I negotiated down 700 dollars from their asking price.  I imagine they still made money.

Ya, but not as much!

 One other thing I'll add for anyone else looking, is to make sure the trailer has a quality  hydraulic pump and relays. I worked in a trailer shop and this was the number one repair on dump trailers. Also make sure that once you have the trailer to keep the pump and relays clean,  most of them are in the toung storage compartment and people have a habit of packing those with crap that end up breaking parts or wires,  or they end up shorting out the relays. One other thing to watch whenever you have the bed in dump position is to look and make sure your wiring is still secured so it doesn't get pinched when you lower the bed.

The absolutely most important thing about owning a dump trailer is making sure the doors stay pinned open when dumping...... don’t ask how I know ! When dumping really heavy loads that are not completely centered side to side the bed will flex no matter the brand , and depending on the latching system can come unlatched ! Just a heads up . Also mine was supposed to lift /dump 15k , filled it with concrete from a demo job and just wouldn’t lift it . That blows also ! Probably one of the most handy things I own tho if you know it’s limmits . Oh one more thing , going to the gravel yard the guy running the loader isn’t always your friend , some are great and will give you exactly what you want (tons) some will over load the crap out of you !
