Looking at towing the Tri-Glide.

Tow vehicle is a 2024 Ford Maverick with the 4K tow package, 2.0L Eco-boost engine.
I'm' looking at this trailer: ://beartracktrailers.com/product/76-wide-utility-trailer/

I'm looking at the 76X120 trailer, I can pick one up, used for a good price......my question is....is this enough trailer size wise being a 6x10'

After our trip we just finished...yeah its time to trailer the Tri Glide then ride. The 4K in 20 days kicked my *** to be honest

 

I think mine is a 6x10 and I pulled mine to Canada last summer,

 

Good info for first timers : 👍

 

According to the stats for that trailer it weighs only 415 pounds with the larger one weighing slightly more.
The Tri-Glide weighs 1203 lbs. and with a full fuel tank it would still be less than 1250 (or so) lbs. for a total weight of less than 1700 lbs. which should be easily towed by your truck that has a 4,000 lbs. towing capacity, which is slightly below the "rule of thumb" half-the weight" of the tow vehicle as I don't see anything pertaining the the trailer having "trailer brakes" but if it does have trailer brakes that's even better.

My concern(s) would be If the drop-down gate can be closed and locked with clearance between it and the rear of the Tri-Glide along with checking that the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded with your Tri-Glide being compatible with the 400lbs tongue weight capacity of your tow vehicle.

You want the front of the trailer (when fully loaded) and hooked up to the tow vehicle to sit slightly lower than the rear but you want to have ample height clearance for the trailer jack (if equipped) tp prevent it from dragging and this may require some experimentation.

I would also recommend "mud flaps" for the rear tires on your tow vehicle.

 

Another “towing” thread from a couple of months ago. 😉

We have an H and H trailer built for bikes and or a Trike. It’s an open trailer but it has a 3.5 foot aluminum V on the front to protect your bike.

You might also need a chalk to put your front tire in and tiedowns in the floor of the trailer.
These can be bought at some trailer stores.

Dont forget to check the gross vehicle weight, which includes trailer weight too.

Ramp is important too.
I like our trailer but sometimes wish it was inclosed

Good luck

 

^^^^^^
I’ve even seen motorcycle front wheel chocks at Harbor Freight. 😉

 

Forgot to say ours is 10 foot long and wide enough for a Trike.
The ramp folds and latches up in a vertical position .
On the Ultra Limited the ramp wud fold down on the trailer, but the Trike is to long for that.

It’s not a good idea to load up your trailer to close to the max to be safe. Bumps are hell sometimes.

Also don’t forget a spare!

 

I didn’t need any trailer brakes but was very conscious of having a trailer behind my try. Btw mine isa F150 but still , you have to respect the weight back there.

 

When I setup the trailer I wanted it had to have the ability to haul.
2 bikes , Large sidecar rig any Trike. It had to be light and have a ramp easy to get up and own.
Also ATV or anything I wanted to haul home from town.
That sidecar Rig is wider than Trike.

Bear track. 450 pounds rated to 3,000 pounds. I pull it with my Ford edge. Down the road at any speed you are willing to pay the ticket. You don't even know it is back there.
82 inch wide inside 12 foot long.

Nice to have around when you find what works for you.
