Hello all. I am looking to get an enclosed trailer for my 2018 Tri Glide.
I have a 2016 Jeep Unlimited. Will a 6X12 work or do I need a 7X12?
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I just hauled my '19 Tri-Glide from Amarillo, Tx to Richland, Wa in an enclosed 6 x 12 uHaul and it was roomy:-) Pulled great behind my '23 Honda Ridgeline:-) It should be a great combination. Only issue with the uHaul was it didn't have a ramp. Definitely get one with a ramp
I would go with the 7' wide. A 6' will work but it does not leave much room on the sides.
Definitely a 7' wide and 14' in length. You will be surprised what you may want to haul with it.
Also make darn sure you get a V front. Those flat nosed fronts are like a parachute in the wind, especially when you are pulling it with a low horsepowered vehicle. Get aluminum if you can also.
If there is a chance you might get a SxS in the future, get one that is 1' higher than normal.
A ramp door is a must.

I'm another one from the 7x14 foot camp.
I pull mine with a Ford Expedition Timberline. The stock mirrors allow me to see down each side of the trailer. When shopping for a trailer I would suggest backing up to your selection and making sure the mirrors on whatever you will be pulling it with works. I towed an 8' wide RV with this same vehicle and had to use clamp-on mirror extensions, which are not great to have to deal with.
Other considerations could be moveability. If you get a 7x12 single axle it is possible to shove it around by hand (empty). A 7x14 with dual axles weighs above 2,000 pounds and is pretty difficult to man handle, even empty.
Current: 2019 Trike (custom 130ci T-Man kit with Darkhorse bottom end)
The problem with single axles is they can sway a lot and especially in side winds, or if your load isn't loaded correctly.
Tandem axles with brakes.
We have had trailers since I was a child, as I was born and raised on a ranch.
Have had all kinds of trailers and many of them.
Shop around and good luck!

You will not sorry for 7 X 14 V nose. I barrowed 6 X 12 a few times before finding the trailer that fit my needs plus the brand I thought was very important. There are lots of choices to choose from. I went with the Homesteader and been very happy with it. These guys are right when it comes down to axles, two is the way to go. Much better ride quality....
I use a 7' x 16" tandem axel cargo trailer, works well.
At least 7x12

We use a 7 x 12 V-nose for our Tri, there's plenty of room on the sides and front.
