Default Will Ultra fit in 5'x8' UHaul trailer?

I need to tow the Ultra to NC and I can only pull this size trailer with my bumper-pull F-150. So, anyone know if it will fit? Thanks.

Specifications say the 2006 Ultra is 98.3" long. Maybe it would fit on an angle?

Not gonna say it want be tight, but it should fit just fine. I have a 5X10 open trailer and have plenty of room on either side.

Need to check on the length to make sure it will fit. Will also need tie downs in the trailer. Not sure why you state that you can not pull a bigger trailer withyour F150.

As long as the ramp doesn't go as high as the tour pak it might fit. Wheelbase wise it should be ok,tight but ok.

U-Haul now makes an open bed trailer with a built-in front wheel chock; I used it on several occasions when I needed it to haul the bike to a shop. You shouldn't put your bike in an enclosed uhaul as there are no wheel chocks in it and the tie downs are not strong enough to keep your bike from tipping in case or an emergency.

It's a 5X9 open ramp utility designed with motorcycles in mind.... and as designed for trilering heavy bikes, you can insure it with no worries...

The weight you are towing should be your limit, not the size of the trailer. why are you limited in trailer size on this???

You will have a tongue & trailer weight that your bumper and set up are rated for, and you will have the GVWR that is the max the truck can handle.

And after having numerous F150's, even with a bumper tow, you should be able to easily tow a trailer the bike will fit in with plenty of room.

Had to load my 01 Ultra on a 5x8 trailer with a wheel dock. When we raised the end gate it cracked the tour pak lid so had to have it repaired.
