5x8 ATV trailer question
«

I am using a car trailer to tote my 720 lb ATV around. I was thinking about getting a 5x8 trailer and using it instead, smaller easier to park and manage. How does a 5x8 handle on the highway? Wiggle wobble, walking or any major issues? How stable are they? I travel I75 and it is sorta bumpy.
Thanks

I used to use my dads 4x8 and nevre had any problems with it. You just had to make sure you loaded it in the center and as close to the front as possible.

It will work fine. I used to tow one all over the state for 3 years racing FTR no problems.

What he said.
Make sure the load is more than 50% ahead of the axle, or it will sway.
