For the last couple of years I've put up with loading and unloading my sled from the back of my pick up, what a pain that can be at times. Well I broke down and bought a drop deck trailer with a plastic "Toy Carrier" enclosure for the upcoming season. The trailer is galvanized and the top being plastic should almost last forever. The bonus on this deal was its priced right and is very light. What do you use and does it do a good job?

Thanks to a great S-World member I'll be taking delivery of a 91/92 trton 96"x14ft aluminum trailer next week. Oh I foud a new axel for only $100, I may just replace both axels for the heck of it since the other could fqail and I'll be REALLY putting the miles on it. New springs also if they look bad.But can't beat the low price.Thanks rich.

Well, I don't have a trailer, but the bed of my pickup truck works great!

1981 john deere special.....i have to load my new sleds opposite of each other or they wont fit..at least it is a tilt

the bed of my redneck truck works great althought it is a little hight up .. i just make a rather larger snow pile with the bobcat and drive up... i could always unload it like that guy in slednecks ...NOT

I dunno what kind mine is. The VIN plate is completely worn shiny, and the stamped digits are gone. As with seemingly everything around my house, it's in need of a good bit of fix it work. It is easily as old as the snowmobile that holds it down.

Gonna put in a new deck, rewire it, and reverse engineer a set of LED lights throughout. I'm also going to sand and paint the metal. It's an open flatbed tilt deck trailer. Nice 'n light to keep my weights within the limits of the tow vehicle.

Well, I bought an old trailer just a week ago for 250 $. Its damned ugly and only space enough for my ZL - but thats about all I need. A good thing is that I can tilt the plattform of the trailer wich make it more easy to get up the sled.

Karavan Ultra 2 place tilt. There was a 4 place enclosed in my sights,but now it is a house in the counrty that is in my sights. My brother-in-law has a open 4 place that I can use when he doesnt need it. :D

I use a two place sled bed. with a salt shield. now i have been looking for an enclosed trailer, drive in drive out.

mine ride on a galvanized 8'6x12'6 drive on/off with treated plywood deck. Rear ramp stows under the back of the trailer, and front ramps are hinged and serve as salt guards. Excellent system. Don't even have to jacknife the truck to get my sleds off (long tongue). 15" wheels.

Mine rides in a 2001 Triton Elite 12' tilt with a Triton 2KF cover(smooth sides), added PowerMadd ski glides and traction mats, plus had to add Arctic Cat decals to the cover :thumbsup:

Mine ride and spend the summer in a 94 Flow 102" X 10' enclosed. The trailer wiring and lights need some work but hope to fix that problem before snow flies.

Fortunatly, I keep them in the garage all season. If I do need to transort, the Trition open trailer works just fine :D

I do with I had a salt shield on that thing :(

I just ride mine where ever i wanna go. But if that can't work out, like if it is broken, or just too far to ride, my neighbor has a trailer i can borrow, in the summer it stays in the garage. :hallo9:

12' V-front Sledbed.

We have been using a two place 10' X 101" Sled Bed, aluminum, tilt trailer with a plastic salt shield for the last couple of years. We don't trailer that much, but it is a pain with the covers and stuff. So this year we broke down and bought a Sno Pro Aluminum Cap for it. Should make trailering that much easier. Going to pick it up on Saturday when I get my F7. That way the F7 will be covered right from the start.

If anyone is interested in buying the salt shield let me know. $125.

Mine rides in a Tomco trailer . It still looks as good as the day it left the factory . :thumbsup:

Mine rides in a fully enclosed, galvanized deck and frame, aluminum top the whole thing I built myself (except the axle), macali17 did you check and see if the F7 will fit the spec sheet says they are 118 inches long my trailer is 10 feet but the top has a one inch frame that cuts it down to 119 inches

Team Renegade is in the market for a new trailer too. Not sure what kind yet but it MUST have larger diameter tires at least 14".

Wolfman what happened to the serial #'s . Where they filed off or naturally sandblasted :devil: ;) Don't tell me your towing with the VUE and not the mighty CTD. :)

The plate is just worn down from years of abuse. It was very old and beat up when I bought it.

Yes, I will be using the VUE once I get a hitch installed on it. The Dodge is only RWD and has an open axle at that. Great towing vehicle, TERRIFYING winter vehicle. I used to use the Suzuki Samurai to pull my sled - it was barely adequate, and that was just capacity wise. We won't even begin to discuss how slow it was. :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping:

I forgot that it was a 2WD :sleeping: I bet ther would be nothing like driving through the mountains with a loaded trailer in the winter with a one wheel peel :0: The VUE does sound like a much better choice and those things rule in the crash tests, better than BMW/ mercedes and honda SUV's :)

The crash test results helped cinch the deal. What got me interested in them initially was when my father bought one, a front wheel drive 5 speed manual. At first I was bummed that they weren't going to offer a manual in AWD trim. Then I rode in my fathers VUE. I immediately hated the buzzy nature of the car at highway speeds. They run at 3000 RPM on the highway, and you can hear the engine droning under the hood. GM also decided to get into the CVT automatic transmission game, and offered it on the 4 cylinder AWD as standard. Coincidentally, I hurt my back real bad about a week before taking my summer trip to Colorado, and literally was unable to drive my little car anywhere. Saturn was finally getting the AWD 4 cylinder models on the lots in Colorado while I was there. I didn't want the 6 cylinder engine due to the rubber timing belt, and conventional automatic trans. I drove the 4 cylinder version loved it. The CVT runs some 600 to 800 RPMs less than the manual trans at highway speeds. That very night, Dateline NBC did a report for small SUV's on crash ratings from the Insurance Institute. The VUE was the only one that the testers were able to walk right up to and open the door after the crash test was completed. About 2 months after I got back home, I had sold the Samurai, all of the diesel stuff that I had acquired for its conversion and never did, and traded in the coupe for the VUE. Best money I've spent in a long time.

my dad has a 8'x24' continetal cargo fiberglass enclosed

Well I use a twin axel car 24ft car trailer when we take several sleds. An 8X10 home built tilt bed trailer for when there is just two of us. I'm building an aluminum ramp using a 4 wheeler ram to put my sled on the pickup this winter when I bring it to school with me.

Formulaman-According to my dealer, who is selling me the F7 and the Trailer Cap, it is supposed to fit. I guess I will find out for sure on Saturday, because they are installing the cap and then I am taking the sled home on that trailer.

2000 triton XT tilt trailer, with a sled-shed cover which opens front and back.......added LED lights last year....

If you can swing a trailer that opens in the front it sure makes tieing them down a whole lot easier!!

DooZ ??? ???

I have a 98 R&R with an aluminum cap on it. Keeps the sleds nice and clean. I only paid $1200.00 for it two years ago. I got $500.00 for my 94 triton oen trailer with a salt shield making it only $700.00 right?LOL. Before that I had an 87 wells cargo (can you say heavy) enclosed but it was only 7.5' wide. Before that I had an 84 "husky" steel open trailer I paid $400.00 but had to install the lights myself saving $20.00. Money was pretty tight when I bought that trailer. Kevin

I just have a cheap Menards "home built" tilt trailer. Can't beat it for $200 though!haha I'm probably gonna end up getting a nice enclosed single place soon though.

well when i get a trailer( when i find the money tree) ill get a big goose neck traier for the 1 ton or when i decide to finally build the trailer i designed it will be a 4 place with the front half enclosed with a v front

Bought mine new in '91, 8'x12' Yacht Club. Have never had one problem w/it, hubs come off every year, still has original tires. Will hardly be using it much for long trips anymore, as one of my buddies just bought a 4-place in-line enclosed alum, and another has a 4-place V-nose enclosed. I do plan on buying a 14' Floe w/Protektor enclosure next year.

For those of you who don't have a decent trailer yet, it doesn't really take a lot of dough. You just need to look around, a 5 yr old two or three place trailer can be picked up pretty cheap. Just ask Sleddog, right Caleb??

O.K. I finally got some picks. This is a new trailer by X-Treme, out of Montrose, Mi. This things built like a brick house.

I'm new to adding pics, cut me some slack. I'll try this again.

2002 Triton Elite 10' LT with a v front for drive on and off fun. Ordering a cover from a new company in Erie, PA that is cheap with $450 will have each sled enclosed in capsule.

2 place Pace American Arrow Sport. It's an enclosed single axle trailer.

It needs some work since it's a 1997 and the V-nose door hinge is seizing up a bit. That surface rust just keeps working on the hinges, rims, everything. Still has it's original tires and rims which will be replaced before the season starts this year.

It's heavy compared to Aluminum, but we store it up north and pull from our storage place up there during the season.
