Default my little ATV trailer


A Triton SL8.

Carries 2 ATVs that you can load and unload them from either side.

Ramps are a cinch and you don't need two people to handle them.

Never needs painting.

7-rib torsion axle - tows like a dream. Sometimes if it wasn't for your rear view mirror you'd forget it was back there.

Marine grade treated plywood floor. The trailer is 10 years old and the plywood is still in excellent shape. One coat of Thompson's water sealer every year and I think the floor is going to last forever.

It only weights 300 pounds. Light enough that I can pick up the tongue and move it across the lawn by myself.

Great trailer, Kenny. I had one but found out it was a little too narrow for 2-up machines. Was scraping the plastic on my old Sportsman X2 and Daniel's old Polaris ATP. I had thought the deck was 101" wide like the snowmobile trailers. I was wrong. That being said, it was, by far, the nicest trailer I've ever towed quads on. Loved being able to drive off and on with just two pins to pull.

I like it.
I had a Polaris touring on it and it fit OK. Probably the shortest of the 2-up machines.
My BF isn't much longer if any than my Honda was.
I put new tires on the trailer and took it to get my new ATV. I wasn't too sure how it was going to fit in the bed due to having a tool box in it.


I put car ramps in the bed so the front of the ATV clears the tool box.


It just fits with the tailgate closed.

Good idea with the car ramps. I never would have thought of that.

Great ideas here, especially the ramp. The trailer is very spacious.
