my new scud. If I am going alone with one trike - it fits in the Ridgeline - otherwise I take Dwight White Dodge Van! New aluminum trailer is on order! Should help fuel mileage!

I have a dirt bike trailer (3 rails) that I use to move all my ORVs with. I can either haul 2 ATCs, or 2 bikes and 1 ATC, or 1 ATV and 1 bike :) It's quite the transformer!!

Already sold Matt - it has been gone for a month or so - I was supposed to have my new trailer prior to TF but did not - not sure if I will even have it by Roger's ride now.

With tool box and gas etc., but bad gas milage. Next rig is a chevy astro cargo van and a snomobile, or now thanks to what Xhumeka just showed me, a mc trailer. Was one for a $150 a couple of months ago on cl, #$@!!%!!!, didn't know it'd work.

What !?!? Do you have an 8 foot box ? I always wondered if I could fit my two 250sx trikes in my 6.5 foot box truck.

I just bought this 2001 Silverado for $2,000 from a friend! It is kinda rough but hey it's a truck and gets it done.

I outgrew my '98 longbed Ranger and upgraded to 1 ton. With the 7.3l, I can't tell a difference when the truck is loaded. I had these two toys in the bed as well as a two-place snowmachine trailer carrying an M7 and my M8. From Anchorage to Homer the engine RPMs were the same as unloaded even through Turnagain Pass.

http://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad7/leviblue/summitfeb20105005.jpg I pull with a 95 wrx wagon and I think Fabio uses a Subaru too.... forget the junkie harbor freight trailer and spend the extra $50-80 for a Tractor Supply Center trailer it'll equal out in the end cuz you gotta get decking. I'm speaking for me but the harbor freight trailer was the worst POS I ever bought and when I sold it a year later I only got $125 for it. I hated it and it bent-up easy their cheap.

I decided it was time for a new trailer for the big chevy to tow. So I went over to LOE trailer sales today and left in a half hour with this beast. Was only planning on a 6 x 10 single axle but in the heat of the moment I went with this. Maybe a little overkill for trike hauling but I'll be putting it to work as well so its a win-win for me. Its a 2010 7 x 12 SURE-TRAC.

Got some odd looks when tooling down the highway with this one. Don't have the 350X anymore but still have the trailer for the other toys. Got it at Tractor Supply.

Here's 5 1983 200 Hondas in the back of my old F250. I picked them up from a hunting camp that required 4 wheel drive to get to so a trailer was out of the question. I now have a 6x12 single axle utility trailer and can fit 5 trikes on that.

That's what I do with mine. I tried to load my BR up in the back.. but it's too big. Cherokees don't have lots of cargo room haha

I always haul my 200m in the back of my '86 sierra. I use a bank in the yard to load it, so I only have to lift it six inches, and I always get one of my buddies to help me lift it off when I get to there place.

You need a 110! I took the front tire off mine which took about 5 seconds, folded down the back seat in the Cherokee, and shoved her right in there with room for all my gear too!

I use my Lincoln 2dr coupe to transport my trikes. I moved 3 trikes at once with it last week.

I don't usually haul the 1000x but this weekend I spun a tire on the rim and had to load it up. Not the lightest trike in the world.
