Brp trailer question

[Brentc]

Purchasing a Brp trailer and have to go pick it up. Would it fit in the bed of a standard Silverado pickup, or do I need to bring a trailer with me?

Tow it behind the Silverado.

Should fit. {Edit: Might have to lift it above and lay in. Not sure if the end of the truck bed and how it is less wide than the rest of the bed will accommodate the trailer.

Tow it behind the Silverado.

I picked one up in Florida and pulled it behind my Tacoma. No problems, but I couldn't see it in my mirrors.

I tow mine with my Spyder and have a hard time seeing it in my mirrors :roflblack::roflblack:

CanAm Website dimensions as follows:

91" long (that has to include the tongue)
45" wide
32" high

200 lbs.

Hope that helps :thumbup:

Yes, it will fit. We live in Ohio and went to NY to get ours and it fit nicely. You load it in backwards and have the tongue hanging over the tailgate. This also gives you an anchor point for tying it down.

Secure it down well and pack blankets around it to protect the paint then a tarp. A good paint job on one of these is around $900. I would not tow it behind a truck or car due to vizability and rock chips. If you do tow it at least pack the wheel bearings. Even if you haul it I would pack the bearings when you get it home. You bought the best--take care of it the best way.

Tow it if you can.
If you can't, load it in in your truck, be careful not to left the togue too high or you can scratch up the back bottom of the trailer.

:agree: Fiberglass does NOT hold up all that well to impacts from a truck bed... :shocked:
(I am assuming that it's a 622...)

Same here...I picked mine up and pulled it behind my land rover. Just had to get a drop hitch so I was pulling it level.

tow my BRP trailer behind my car. Only problem is that you cannot see the trailer. I have safety chain extensions for the safety cable to reach the hitch on the car. I installed a flat four plug on my BRP trailer

Whirlygiggers!

So I can see at least something of my trailers whether pulling with a cage or a Spyder, and to be seen by others better, I use a couple of whirlygiggers on my cargo, camping and even the trailer I pull my Spyder (and other stuff) on. They may look a bit gaudy and distracting but that is the point!

They are made from the bright orange 4' fiberglass poles that you get at the hardware store to stick in the ground so you can mark your driveway in the snow and such. I wrap some extra conspicuity tape around them near the top and cinch it in place with a tie wrap. For mounting I use the center part of a solid aluminum turnbuckle - one end is threaded the correct way to bolt it to the trailer and I drill the other end out to fit the pole. Gravity seems to keep the poles in place, I haven't had one bounce out yet.

Be sure to drill a small weep hole or the turnbuckle will fill with nasty road and rain water. Also, as soon as you get the poles spray them with clear sealer or you will get microscopic strands of fiberglass in your hands most every time you handle them and it hurts!
