    Yo Peoples, looking for advise and experience, looking to haul 2 RT Limited in an enclosed trailer, need information on size needed for 2 bikes,
    aluminum probable would be best due to the size needed, suggestions on reasonably priced brands that travel & wear well,
    also that would load easily with the low clearance of said machines
    thanks for all your help

    I looked at the Continental Cargo enclosed in Richmond VA but the opening was not big enough by 1”, so I must be looking at a different one than you bought.

    After buying a Spyder this week and doing a lot of measuring I realized that my utility trailer just isn't going to be wide enough. Found a Bear Track trailer yesterday in Port Charlotte. Very much like the Aluma. Pics on this thread helped.

    Mine is 6’ by 12’. Is the 2020 Spyder wider than the 17?

    Does the RT load onto the Aluma MC210 without any scraping? Tom

    2020 Rock Solid Cargo 7x16TA – 3500

    I had an enclosed trailer custom-built from Southern trailer Depot down in Douglas Georgia.
    This is the second one that I have had built down there and went down and picked it up.
    It was 7 x 16 with a lot of extra stuff -torsion Spring axles with brakes on both Extended tongue
    E-Track in the floor- Extra LEDs, etc. it was $5,500.00

    Only issue I had when I picked it up. It wasn't supposed to be any orange on it. It was supposed
    to be black all the way to the top. They gave me a small discount because of it or they would rebuild
    me another one. But after a 12 hour ride I took like it was. I sorta got used to the orange color.

    I know that's a lot for trailer but it's also where I put it that in the wintertime so it can be out of
    the way and protected.

    You can get a custom-built trailer down there a lot cheaper than what I paid and better than
    picking it up off of a trailer lot and get what you want on it. They will deliver or meet you
    partially somewhere if your long ways away for price.

    There's a lot of trailer manufacturers down in that area. Be careful if you get one from someone else
    check with the Better Business Bureau. Some of them are not built so well.

    Please advise how you made the front rams.

    Just go buy you a utility trailer that is 6 feet wide and at least 10 feet long with a gate on the back. You can get one for around $1200, and then get you four short (12") 2x6 boards and put them in front of your gate when loading and unloading , so the pieces of wood will raise up the Spyder as you approach the gate to lift up your front end so it will not hit the gate! Now put you some tie down brackets less than $35.00 on your trailer and tie it down front and rear! Now for about $1250 dollars, you can go across the US or anywhere you want to!

    I have never scraped a fender using the 6 ft. wide trailer and I am 76 years old, but each to his own! So if you feel you need a 7 ft wide trailer get one, I think going to 12 ft long would be an advantage! Remember, the lower to the ground on your trailer is an advantage also! You still should be under $1500 dollars, and you can use the trailer for so many other things like hauling your lawn mower, etc.

    What Spyder do you have that is 70" wide? I have heard that the '20/'21 models are a bit larger, but I just check the spec sheets and found that they are roughly the same width as my wife's '17 RT-S, at just under 62", but are about 6" longer.

    We rented a 6x12 U-Haul trailer to bring her bike home. Except for the ramps that we had to provide, there were absolutely NO problems with the trailer.

    I just purchased a Klinger Trailer to tow behind my RV and will pick the trailer up in April. It uses a battery to drop the floor to the ground for loading. This father son business custom build each trailer based on what you need to haul. In my case I am having it powder coated bright yellow so that it can be seen behind my RV.

    This Primo aluminum 6x10 trailer for $2550 looks pretty nice. Weighs in at 525 lbs.

    Add the Spyder and our 2020 Ford Edge ST 2.7L twin turbo should tow it fine.

    I am also looking at the Bear Track 65 inch wide x 10 ft long trailer. It looks like it would work for my 2020 RT. The bed is supposed to be only 14 inches from the ground and it has a nice size biFold full width ramp in the back. Its all aluminum and has a torsion suspension with 13 inch tires and a 2200 pound axles. Local dealer has a couple in stock and when snow melts I am going to run down and check it out . Dealer website lists the price at $2351 which doesn't sound too bad for a multi purpose utility trailer. They also have rock shield available, but not sure what the adder is. Is anyone else using the BearTrack BTU65120?

    How much did you need to “lift” the front? And would the F3 be the same?
