From what I can see, the 230TRS was last produced in 2015 and the 240URS is the "replacement floorplan"... If you get into the "skeleton of the trailer" (frame, running gear, suspension, tires) 2015 trailers were built under the previous "tire/suspension requirements" (no/limited tire reserve capacity, smaller brakes, axles, etc). It was around 2018 when RVIA recommendations of increased tire load capacity and changes in braking, improved performance started to appear in "ultra-lite trailers"....
So, many/much of the differences will be "well hidden from all standard/optional equipment lists in brochures. I believe, but can't find a detailed reference to support it, that the 230TRS was built on a welded Lippert frame and the 240USR has always been built on a BAL NOCO "huck bolt" frame... But, I can't say that with a reference to back up the statement. So, do some research into things like axles, frames, hubs to start your comparisons of the two trailers....
There's a lot more than just 1.5 feet of difference.....
