What kind of trailers are you using for ATV's?

Only pic I could find of my trailer, 18ft car hauler, you can get 4 large quads on it. I LOVE that trailer in the first pic, but you would be sort of limited with it. I'd vote a car hauler for you, I just have one of the aluminum ramps like you get for loading in the bed of the truck and I put it on the trailer wherever needed.

This isn't what I'm looking for, but came across it while I was looking around. Made for two ATV's:

alright thanks how many do you plan on hauling?

TxFireman1972 · Jan 14, 2012

Probably end up with at least 4 at a time. This is another one I found pretty close to me.

for 4 quads, this trailer looks good for.

I'm probably just going to buy a 20' Car Hauler. That way it can be used for more than just ATV's. Something like this one:

make up ya mind!!!!!!!!1 lol jk but yea if your gonna use the car trailer for vehicles, quads and more just get one of those

yeah get something that will fit all your needs. And get more trailer than you think that you actually "need" IMO. better to have more than enough

Early in the thread I said I was most likely buying a car hauler lol

Just was curious what everyone else was using.

Yeah I cant do that. Own two VW's that would be tricky to get up there lol

Whatever you do, buy the biggest trailer you can pull/afford.. I don't know how many times I have seen people buy two/three trailers because they figured the first two were big enough..

Exactly what I'm looking at

There is no such thing as overkill...

Sounds like you are on the right track with the 20' car hauler trailer. You could even see if you could get a metal shop to fab up some ramps you could use for side loading, and then just store them under the trailer or strapped the to the deck.

Same thing I was thinking. I would think the rear ramps could be used on the sides as well pretty easily. But I'm going to check for sure when I buy it.
