Does anyone have any websites for trailers? If not, can you tell me how much I should expect to pay for a trailer that can haul 2 ATVs? What is a good size? What's the likely hood that I find a used one and where to look? Thanks Again!

Michigan is also Snowmobile country.. A two place snowmobile trailer is "adequate" for two ATV's and there should be plenty of used ones in the next few months. You can also go to the "Featherlite" site if money is no object. One more suggestion: Always buy a bit bigger than you think you need. It is nice to have a gear box and a place to keep gas cans.

I picked up a 5'x 12' trailer w/ramp for around $625 at a local trailer dealer in N.J. Easy to load and tow holds 2 quads real nice

Grab up the old phone book and look in the yellow pages under "trailers". Your dealer should have a good idea where in your area trailers are sold. I agree buy a trailer bigger by 1/2 of a machine for room for a gear box, "contico.com" have some nice boxes.

here are some trailer tips 4 u. try to buy one with bigger tires the small one spin twice as fast as your car which means heat build up in the bearings. also buy one with a tilt bed not the fold up ramps, they are a major wind drag. also try to lift the tung of the trailer check to see how balanced it is. if its built wrong it will be too heavy or to light.

Thanks for the advice. I'm glad I will be able to pick one up for under a grand.
