Your Trailer Reccomendation for 2 ATVs
Posted on 7/22/14 at 4:51 pm

I am tired of putting one in the truck bed, via ramp and I want to load both into a large trailer.
Kymco 300 - 6 feet length
Honda 420 - 7 feet length
What trailer would you go with? Pulling with a 2012 Tundra.
Thinking of something like this but was wondering what yall use to carry 2 ATV's.

seems a bit overkill

If only two four wheelers and nothing else, a 6.5x14ft should do. You could also think about a side loading one for the smaller four wheeler. My buddy has one with the side ramp and a back ramp that folds in half to cut down on wind resistance.
Either way, you probably only need a single 3500lb axle, and definitely no brakes for that little amount of weight. I personally like the round tongue couplers, but they are mostly used on heavier trailers. More than likely, a small trailer will come with a regular square one

I have several trailers (contractor), but my go-to for two atvs (Rincons) is a 5x14 single axle. Plenty of room, easy to trailer, I can move it around easily by myself when I want to, easy on gas. It's a major hassle to move my double axle without hooking it to my truck (Tundra too).

Mines similar to that but single axle & built my front side haul

Spinoff question: easier to back a single or double axle?

I will go talk to Northshore Trailer, but what are the general rules for axels?
When is 2 axels needed?

Q. How far will you be trailering them?
If you pulling over a couple hours or deep into the sticks on a 2 lane road I would get dual axles for the safety factor. Its a lot easier to change a flat on a dual axle, you can also pull it a couple miles if you take it easy till you get to a safe place to fix the flat. As far as moving it...... use your 4 wheeler.

quote:With two axles, you can haul a bigger load. You also can use them if you have a really long trailer. Axles are rated by the amount of weight they can safely hold

5 lug = 3500lbs
6 lug = 5500lbs
8 lug = 7500lbs
10 lug = 15,500 IIRC
Use two 5 lug axles and you are safe putting 7000lbs on the trailer. Ideally, you'd get an axle that has the same lugs and hub dimensions as your truck, but idk the spacing for a Tundra. That way, you can have one spare on the trailer, and an extra spare under your truck. Two blowouts because of dry rot and you're not stuck on the side of the road

I've got a 6x14 with a side ramp. Great for hauling 2 atv's. I might be looking to sell if you are interested in a used trailer.

Sounds good Magic Mike. Send me a pic etc to unodork@hotmail.com. Thx!

I have a 5x14 single axle with 14 inch rims. I can fit 2 large atvs on it no problem. It's very easy to maneuver in the yard by myself. I have towed it from Slidell to Kentucky with 2 atvs on it multiple times, no issues.
