I am looking to buy a new trailer to tow behind my p.o.s. exploder....all I think it can tow is a 6x12...I want to get an enclosed and have 3 quads and several pit bikes...obviously I can't fit much in it, but, can I get two in there standing up? I have a banshee, 400ex and blaster.....also how do you tie a bike down standing up? any thoughts?

take some measurements on your quads and for the bike there should be hooks in the bottom of an enclosed tralier to strap it to at least there is on sprint car trailers

I dont know the exact measurements of my trailer. But it will fit 3 quads if properly aranged.


But we usually put my budies dads kodiak 400 in the trailer and either my or my budies quad in with it. The 3rd quad gets to ride in the truck.

This is the only pic I could find of the trailer. Please pay NO attention to my car.

As long as your trailer has brakes that are good and functional. Get some load bars for the trailer hitch, if that is what they are called. They distribute the weight of the trailer on the whole vechile instead of just the rear. Our with out them our taho botomed out towing the camper, after the taho sat level.

you can fit 3 in a 6x12, they all have to go side to side, but its a PITA to get them out.. we have done it with a friends enclosed....

You can get all three in there if you stand them all on the grab bars. I have put two 400s, coolers, and gear in a 8ft bed p/u with the tailgate up, so I know you can get three in a 12 foot space.
All tie downs come off the frames in front of the a-arms and look like this /\/\/\. You will need to have six floor mounted tie points . Let me see if can find a pic in the truck.......

if two can fit like in here, three can fit in a 6X12 trailer, just make sure its tall enough inside.

I got a 6x12 and can fit three quads and a dirtbike. 300ex sideways in the front of trailer, ltz400 standing up, yfz450 in back laying normal and a 125sx on the side and everything fits nice.
I can get a pic.

I got a 6x12 V nose. I can fit 2 end to end no problem. I've put 3 in it with them stood up on end. Was tight with the 06 honda 450, had to remove front bumper, but they all fit. If you need 3 or more quads start with a 7ft x 14ft and go up from there. Tape measure is invalualbe...
