8-10' long with mesh or wood floor. I prefer full size wheels on it and a ramp. Gonna shop trailer companies as I'm hesitant to buy one from Lowes. This is basically what I am looking for. I prefer new unless it's used and in really great shape. The prices on usedmarket are stupid too. Thanks for any info.

Looking on my local Craigslist.


There's one with a ramp for $1300. 6'x8'

Haggle price probably has a floor at $1000.

Mark, I have the cheap mesh floor one from TSC and would recommend a wood floor. With my Utv on it the expanded metal sags under the wheels. I will see if I can find the company but there is a trailer place in San Antonio that makes a much better trailer.

Eventually, I will need one like that as well to haul a side by side UTV. The companies that sell ATV/UTVs also sell the trailers. Broadway Powersports in Tyler for example. They sell Falcon trailers and EZ loader trailers. $3099 for a similar one that you found.

You may check with somebody nearby that sells UTVs and see.

Spend once, cry once. Do not buy a trailer at a big box store.

I’d buy a used one before I bought one from Lowe’s or TSC as someone mentioned above.

Nothing wrong with buying used, jerking the boards off and painting with cheap enamel from TSC. Put some hard SR in it and will last a long time. Even I’d you can’t spray it and rolled it. Be surprised how good a trailer looks with paint rolled and new boards. It’s just a trailer.


Thanks, Billy

I've just seen some that were ragged out. If its a few hundred dollars difference I will buy new.

Look carefully at the bearings and tires if it is used. Buy twice as heavy of a trailer as what you need now. The loads you haul will only get bigger over the years.

No title, $700-$800. Getting a title and tags isn't $1800 bucks.



What's wheel bearings cost? Ain't you gonna replace them regardless? Establish a baseline on how the bearings last you? Take some pride in your new purchase?

Get a PJ. 26 years ago I bought a single axle PJ wood deck, 12’ long with tilt down mesh ramp, original wood deck still in good shape.

Had a Big Tex one that size that we got for $500 in 2005; Sold it last year for $1000...it did have a cage welded on the front because the guy I bought it from used it for his landscaping business and he bought it new in 2000. I can't believe they are going for that high new, but then again everything has gone sky high.
