KennyS Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Anyone know why the swoosh/swirls are no longer offered on the side of the 2022 Olivers? We liked them...
Jairon Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) I was told Oliver won't be offering the side graphics going forward; that said, things could change with enough demand. Edited January 20, 2021 by Jairon 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser 2021 Oliver Elite II, Hull #748
BackofBeyond Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Now a $$$ option ?? Must be more trouble than it is worth. I can see the trend - as Oliver ramps up production, they have completely eliminated custom inquiries, and are standardizing options, while eliminating those that don't support the mission.... Certainly makes sense - Toyota championed the concept about 45 years back. Seems there are plenty of suppliers out there that will do the same... 1 Cindy, Russell and "Harley dog" .

All 2022 trailers will come with front and rear graphics only. The Oliver name and model are still included on the side of the trailer. 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser 2021 Oliver Elite II, Hull #748
Moderators SeaDawg Posted January 20, 2021 Moderators Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) That, I am really sad to see. The custom graphics have always been fun , and personal. I hope Oliver rethinks this. Edited January 21, 2021 by SeaDawg 1 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted January 21, 2021 Moderators Posted January 21, 2021 Maybe enough folks were deleting the side graphics that they just decided to eliminate them all together? Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L

I'm speculating a bit based on what I was told but I believe the swoops were manufactured in house and the machine used to make them started to break down. 1 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser 2021 Oliver Elite II, Hull #748

NCeagle Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I'm really surprised they are doing away with the swooshes. 🤔 I know it's a personal thing, but we really like them for subtly breaking up the all white, "Mr. Clean" look. 1 2020 Elite II, Hull 688 --- 2021 Silverado 2500HD, 6.6L Duramax Diesel

KennyS Posted January 23, 2021 Author Posted January 23, 2021 I think we will design something of our own and have it put on after. I can see where if enough people were not wanting them that Oliver would decide to do away with them. Thanks for your replies.
Overland Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 I’m thrilled to see the end of the swoosh. And personally I think that the clean, all white look is great. I’d argue though that adding something to break up the side would have broader appeal. Just not another swoosh, please. There’s so much more that can be done with graphics than just slapping a random curvy line across the side.
