14 foot long will give you enough room to put 2 Bikes nose to tail.

I would say at least a 14 foot trailer, but make sure its also wide enough.... we have a 7x14 that works wonderfully.... If you need some assistance on where to get one pm me & i'll get you information for somewhere that sells good trailers at a really good price.... |

Pending on the size of the atv's, I would say 6x14, some trailers even have side gates, which I think is great! You save room when you load side-ways. Check out my husband did so we can fit 3 atv's on 6x14. We have side ramps that we load the atv's from the side and tie-down BIG TIME!!!

We have an 6x18-20, not sure exactly. We can fit 3 quads from nose to tail. I would just put the quads upto eachother and measure, would be the easiest way to find out I'd think? You always want a little extra space though. On ours, if we sideload (including the TBX which can't be sideloaded) we can fit atleast 4 atvs.

Then I'd try the manufacturer specs for the length, most likely 14 foot will be enough.

You dont need a 14 foot long to fit only 2 quads. My 6x12 fits 3 sideways.

6x12 would be fine then. that gives you room for tool boxes and gear too.

6x12 wont be fine, atleast i dont think for a utility quad it will. Barely fit My z400 and dads warrior in the trialer, and when we measured the trialer came out to liek 6.2 I think.

I like my 8x12 deck-over...15" tires and can fit three uts side by side easily. Just unload them with a truck ramp. |

My old trailer was a 6x12 enclosed and fit two MX YFZ's with a little room to spare, and about a foot of room on the side.

A 6 X 12 ENCLOSED WILL NOT GET TWO UT. QUADS FRONT TO BACK. YOU NEED 14 FEET. THEY SHOULD MEASURE ROUGHLY 80" IN LENGTH. DO THE MATH. REMEBER A 6 X 12 ENCLOSED IS REALLY NOT 12' INSIDE.

If you're getting utes it will be best to get a 14 foot trailer then, be able to load them nose to tail. Utes are too heavy to move to heave them side-by-side all the time. And if you're getting an enclosed I would get a 16 foot trailer IMO. |

I would have to agree w/6x14, although you could go w/6x12, but you would have to load cross ways - and yes, ute's are heavy. My hubby used to do w/ours to get 3 on 6x14 - That's when he came up with loading sideways w/ramps. He bolted bleacher seats (yea, that's right I said bleacher seats) sideways on the trailer. See pic on previous post, it works really well. Use ramps to load sideways. But for only 2 I would go w/6 x14 just much much easier and you ain't talking about alot more money either.
