What size. I only need it for my Honda Rubicon.

I'm sure some prefer different sizes over others.
And loading/unloading too.
I want something as easy as possible.

Do not get a trailer that only fits your 4 wheeler. Go bigger, you will regret it if not. I mean shite, 5x12 minimum IMO.

I'd make sure you buy one with the full sized tires on it. 4'x 8' is the smallest you could go with I believe.

The convience of the drop gate trailers is nice, but they act like a giant parachute and will kill your gas mileage. IMO, I'd stay away from those. I agree with Chad (cant believe I just typed that) bigger is better when you're talking about trailers.

I have a 5x8 that i use when pulling a single ATV. It has a short (2ft) drop gate and thats all I need to drive onto it. It also is a tilt trailer, but I dont have to use that with the ATV. Also use it to haul a 48" mower + push mower with plenty of room.

If I am hauling more than 1,I use my 7x16, but its too much trailer for just hauling a single ATV.

Sorry Chad, I didn't know it was that time of the month.


When I worked at Academy the only thing I gave a damn about was finding a good hiding spot to smoke a cig and trying to avoid anybody looking to buy a boat trailer. Damn those things.

Don't Get one just for your bike. I thought I wanted that too until we started going on rides and we needed a trailer for a couple more bikes. Get at least a 12 foot.

This exactly. If I was buying one it would be a 5x14.

I will respectfully disagree with a bigger is better when it comes to an atv trailer. x 4 bay park ave is perfect. Because after you haul the atv with it, you can get behind your atv. Come in very handy for hauling ladder stands, tripods, bags of corn, feeders, food plot implements, and such 2 places your truck cannot go or would get scratched up.

Get a tilt model and you will not need the drop gate, which tends to get in the way when you haul longer items on the trailer .

I like bigger is better(on trailers), but this is a heck of a point. Haven't thought of/never done this.

+1, We always strap stuff awkwardly to the 4 wheeler and hope like hell it doesn't fall off on the ride

i have a couple,, one being a 5x14, with removable drive on ramps, and its lightweight.. I hook 4 wheeler to it and can haul boxstands with it.. make SURE that the jack stand is a swing up type, or it will hang too low.. I had to use the cutting torch on mine about 25 years ago, and never put one back on there..
