    I like the Big Tex brand of trailers, they are solid and have the capability to run a full size tire (15" rim) instead of those 4.3 or 5 by 12" trailer tires if your planning on going down any forestry roads.

    Picked up a 5x9 snow bear open trailer on CL .It was a little rusty when I got it but a good power wash and $35 in paint and rust restorer ,sum elbow grease.and u have a trailer that looks good for $250 .I even color matched it to my speed way blue.It has the dump bed and plenty of room for the Goldwing and bunch of other stuff. I like it u don't have to throw all that nasty stuff into the bed on your Tacoma keeping the bed nice and clean.

    I recently purchased a used 6'5" x 10' 3" inside dimensions. I use it for everything. Love the size and it pulls easy to. Even the 3.5 can pull it! Lol!

    Still aiming for a new 6x10 PJ trailer. They have some amazing stuff stock on them. They have a ready rail system which is genius. And I love the fact that the whole thing including the axle is powder coated vs just paint. To help last a long time o am hoping.

    You guys have def helped. Buy for what I need now vs what might be years down the road. Going to scoop a 6x10 in the spring and see if I can get ta good deal on it.

    Thanks so much and loved the pics that were posted. Hope this thread will help others down the line too

    I pull a deck over 6x12 3k single axle. It has ramps that store underneath and stake side pockets. Pretty versatile and with trailer brakes I have no problem maxing it out / taking it WAY past that on shorter trips.

    IMG_3540.jpg I loved my 6x12 tilt trailer with 3500# axle, but had to upgrade to 7x12 tilt with a 5200# axle for the snow tracks. The only thing I miss about the 6x12 was the width behind the truck, wish I had a 7x12 deckover for the narrow roads, but I can still squeeze byIMG_2494.jpg

    Don't want to thread jack this trailer post, so I'll reiterate that a deckover is the way to go. But on a side note, it's just your regular subie hatchback with some snow tracks and a 4" lift that needs to be put on and some other stuff I need to make time for
