Recommendations for Utility Trailer

Mine fits on a 6x10 easily but the 6x12 would give a touch more space (obviously).

If it’s a full size, you probably want something that’s 6.5’ wide. Most of the higher end utility trailers like PJ, Load Trail, Diamond C are this width.

I would highly recommend looking at the features some of these premium brands provide and comparing your chosen brand. Features like boxed lights, concealed wiring, flip away jack, lots of tie downs, stake pockets, bi-fold gate, spare tire holder, may seem frivolous, but all those I listed are exceptionally useful. A good trailer should last across multiple trucks and SxSs.

I’m typically a bare bones guy, but I bought a Diamond C after the 2016 Flood because that’s all I could find. It’s made me a total trailer snob. No more chintzy trailers for me.

Yeah, I’d probably want a 14’ if I were hauling a SxS full time. I have a 12’ that’s perfect, but I’m just hauling an ATV so far. I’ll get a Mule some day and I worry I’ll miss the extra length.

If you have a ranch king dealer nearby, look there. Or look for a used ine. Buy once cry once. You won't be disappointed.

Go double axle for maximum stability and better safety if you get a blowout.

Dont do this. Its overkill and more cost and maintenance.

Do go wide and do go 14'.

Is the standard 3k GVWR heavy enough for dedicated SxS use?

Bad advice
Definitely go double axle!

I would get a double axle 16'. I was in the same position a couple of years ago and went back and forth on single vs. double. Bought a 16' Bellwether/Premier double and have been extremely happy with it. After pulling my sxs on a double axle for so long, it feels squirrel on the interstate with a single.

I bought mine from Circle R Trailer sales in Gonzales. Buying was super easy/pleasant. If you buy from them, you can custom order from Bellwether and get exactly what you want. There's not much cost difference. I got mesh around the sides, dovetail, welded toolbox, spring-assisted gate, extra D-rings, square tubing instead of circular, and got to choose the color. Trailer stays outside. I stained the board and pressure wash it once a year. It's held up extremely well. If I remember correctly, it took them about 5 weeks to deliver after ordering. Would recommend giving Circle R a call.

Big Tex

I have a 14' double axle and a 28' gooseneck. Solid, well built trailers. I had a lesser brand, HD brand out of Powderly, TX, a 18' car hauler and it wasn't built nearly as well as the Big Texs.

Appreciate the helpful responses. Ended up pulling the trigger on a Big Tex 14’ x 6.5’ single axle. They price matched another company that I quoted and I feel like I got a solid deal. It looks pretty damn big to me but I trust that TD’s consensus on 14’ over 12’ is the right call!
