How do you transports your ATV?

With just a platform I would think it would be easier to load and unload, plus you wouldn’t need to license it like a trailer.

Does anybody out there use a ATV inline trailer, I heard these have alot of tongue weight. I don't know how it would tow behind my 3.8 grand prix supercharged. I have the power but I don't think it will handle the tongue weight. Does anybody tow one of these trailers with a car or just trucks!!!!!I picked the front of one up empty and it was pretty heavey,it was GALV. though not ALUM. Thanks.....

As far as the trailer hitch platform I've never seen one in use but I came across
this one and
this one which look interesting.
This thing looks cool too but I don't think it's going to work with my F-150!
I'm still looking for a 2 ATV trailer I can afford that loads reasonably. I found a few that claim to carry to front/back but they load from the rear so it doesn't look too useful unless I'm missing something...

The first two look good, but the last one you'll need four wheel drive to get up there!!!!!

that last one sure wouldn't work for an avalanche... but i put mine in the truck bed, landons in the front, prairie on the right back, and the pit bike on the left back.... then i find space for the tools and cooler. it is a 5 x 10... will be getting a 6 x 12 or 14 soon.... new addition to the family! but this one is good for now.

I've made set-ups like the pickup top bed and non of my wheelers have 4x4 , just have to know what your doing ,
I just build my trailers or adapt them to my needs ,knowing how to weld helps .

I use my covered 102"X 10' snowmobile trailer works great!! nice to be able to use
the trailer year around. In michigan we have a permanent trailer plate, buy it once
for $75.00 & thats it. I pull it behind my 1996 ford f250 4x4, if we are going to camp,
then I put my truck camper on the truck & pull the trailer behind, Great truck BTW!

5X10 tilting EasyHauler for me. Its quick to load, easy to turn around & doubles for my sled in the winter. Just make sure that your quad is well secured with good ratchet straps. Every once in a while loosen all your lug nuts and put a little grease on the threads. I got a flat on the trailer once and after working like a dog to get 4 nuts off realized that the fifth stud was spinning around on me. Luckily was able to flag down a welding truck from a local construction company who put a spot weld on the back of the stud to stop it spinning so I could get the nut off & put the spare on. BTW - never leave home without a spare tire for your trailer. The small tires on these type of trailers are known for popping off the rim in potholes or if they get hauled sideways.
