Looking for Trailer to haul my ST Limited
I have a 2013 ST Limited that I want to tow from FL to WV. I'm looking for a trailer, not too costly but one that I know my Spyder will travel safely on through the mountains of NC, Va and WV. I know nothing about hauling my Spyder so your help and advise is greatly appreciated. I have a Jeep Cherokee that will be pulling the trailer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
How much trailering will you be doing?
If your only going on one trip, then you might want to look into u-haul or a similar rental. If your looking to buy a trailer, I would recommend taking your spyder to a reputable trailer dealer and see what they recommend. Size would need to be at least 6 x 10, but 6 x 12 would give a Little more room. Also the angle of the ramp needs to be taken into consideration so as to not scrape the nose when driving on. You would want to check your owners manual for the proper tie down and loading method. I have an aluminum 7 x 12 and it has a drop down rear tail gate ramp. Works great use it all the time. I outfitted it with tie down points and can load up pretty quickly.:thumbup:
Good luck.
We use a Droptail for our 2014 RT
I don't have an ST Limited, however, we use this to haul our 2014 RT Limited...fyi:
We use a Droptail trailer. I really like that it folds and stores upright in the garage and NO ramps needed - built in. Works well for the Spyder with the low clearance. The back of the trailer hydraulically lowers and the built in rear gate folds down to extend the ramp portion. Easy to use. Our Spyder RT just fits and the nose of the Spyder fits in the V part of the front of the trailer. Not a lot of spare room, but works well. The Spyder fills the whole trailer even though this is a "two up" motorcycle trailer. A bonus for us is that our Gold Wing can be hauled on this trailer as well - however, only one bike at a time (unless you have two - 2 wheel motorcycles). There is a standard 8 inch stone guard and an optional 20" stone guard. I did add the 20" stone guard on our trailer. Also, we purchased an optional spare tire which bolts to the bottom of the trailer.
Here's some info on the model number and a few pics: Drop - Tail "Two - Up" Cruiser / Sport Bike Trailer, model number: 03-DCT2200-02
Good luck on your choice of trailers - there are a lot of good trailers out there that work!! :thumbup:
