Looking for Trailer to haul my ST Limited

[bearsfan64]

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!

I bought a 5 x 10 utility trailer with a dove tail. This allows me to put the spyder right on the trailer. I use 2 6ft 2x8 for front wheels so that the front end starts raising before the nose hits. I put them about 1\2 way up the ramp. I have found these trailers around $600. $1200 new. Hope this helps

I picked up a 6x10 aluminum trailer this spring. Paid $1400 for it, but it'll do everything I'll need a trailer for, and won't rust, and is lighter than steel is. Might have to use it for Spyderfest if mother nature keeps this crap up.

I borrowed a 6x10 alum a craft my friend has and it hauled great. It had a drop down tailgate but not long enough so I used a couple of car ramps to extend it and used a 2x12 for the center wheel to get it on. Worked out well and if you find a good used one for sale you can always have an extension added to the gate.

As for Uhaul I looked into those and what they have are not wide enough in the back inside the posts to get the Spyder through.

I would personally recommend an enclosed trailer for many reasons. 6 X 12-14. Theft, Road grime and debris. You can also use it for a garage for the Spyder and keep a light bulb inside for moisture and heat in the winter. For $1000 more the benefits are endless.

5 x 10......5 ft. wide = 60 inches ....an RT can't fit and it's almost impossible for a GS/RS...........Mike

I picked up a used 5X8 flatbed. Moved the tiedown points. Then then cut a 1X6 at a 45° angle with a 2X4 on top for a 4in tall stop. 3 ratchet straps run through a 1.5in radiator hose about a foot long to protect the straps and wheels. 3 ramps from Lowe's. Total cost $550.00. Been to Iowa once, Kansas another time. Total miles so far 1200+.

I utilize a 6X10 utility trailer with a drop gate which works great. Plenty of room and loading & unloading is a breeze.

Legend makes a good covered trailer.
