oldschoolsdime92 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I am starting to shop around for a utility trailer. 6x10 or 5x8 are what I am looking at, single axle perferably with drop down gate I can use as a ramp. Anyone have any places to check out? Craigslist just seems to be filled with junk. thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have a really nice one that I'm halfway kicking around selling to get an enclosed trailer. Holds 3 bikes easily and can do 4 if you are careful. Set up with Etrack as well. Its a 7x10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'd be interested in seeing pics, though im assuming its going to cost more than im wanting to spend 500-1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yea, dont think I'd let it go for under 1000 thats for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 i wonder if i could get two bikes on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 could you fit them, yes. The issue is going to be strapping them down to be stable enough I would think. I'd go with a 5x8 for that duty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I wouldnt buy anything with less than 12" tires on it if you are going to be doing any freeway towing. I found a pair of nearly new 12" radials for $40 mounted/balanced from a mexican tire store near Eastland.You'll be going thru tires and bearings with anything less.

redkow97 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 could you fit them, yes. The issue is going to be strapping them down to be stable enough I would think. I'd go with a 5x8 for that dutyi've seen it done, but to be safe you need to build "outriggers" for the far left and far right tie-down points.the pitbull trailer restraint system makes it possible to fit 2 bikes on a 4x8 relatively painlessly.of course for the $500+ you'll pay for 2 Pit-bull TRS setups, you can easily get a larger trailer, so that's only the best option if you can't store a larger trailer, and you transport 2 bikes fairly often. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
