Will a 6x10 haul a two seater sxs? Google has mixed responses. What a good price on a 6x10 with drop ramp in good condition and everything works?

Now he's goin' home this time to stay

And the tractor rolls through the fields of green

Not sure yet. Single axle is all I know for now. Going to try and go look at it today.

Brother had a bigger single axle that he hauled his Pioneer 1000-5 with. Towed fine, but think it was overloading the trailer. Tires wore pretty badly on the insides. Sold it and upgraded to slightly larger with dual axle with brakes, much better.

The only way i can get my Can Am on my 6x10 is to back it on, or lay the gate down onto the trailer (it will lay flat on the floor) and use other ramps to load up.

If the ramps are 4' and come straight up then a polaris with bigger tires probably wont fit. But it is super close and the ranger Ive seen had big rear bumpers. The short term. solution was to make a bracket so the gate was at a slight angle. Then he just took the gate off and climbed the trailer. But that plays hell on a truck without the emergency brake on.

Go bigger than you "think" you need. I have a trailer that my Dad and I built, side folding ramp and rear gate. Been to Tellico many times hauling 3 atvs running 85 mph up I-75. It all has to do with the way it was built, trust me. We made 6 in a couple years for us & others. If it a total angle iron trailer I would be cautious because of the flex. IMO.

I'd get atleast a 12ft for a double cab and I bet that would be close. I have a 12ft and only have about 3 spare feet with my single cab sxs. I'd imagine a double cab is 3ft longer than mine but maybe not

I don’t haul anything that weighs more than 600# more than a few miles without two axles under it. Can’t answer your specific question but I haul my Polaris on a 6.5x14 tandem. There’s room on the sides of the tires but not much. Wherever I take it there’s usually other crap going there too so I like having the extra room.

I have a Polaris Ranger Crew and I use a 6x12 trailer with no issues. I am sure it would fit lengthwise on a 10 ft trailer backed on but a 12' would be better.

Get a 12 footer. Preferably 2 axle not for weight, they just pull better .

Not weight, but weight distribution is a big factor. I'm not sure if the axle is far enough back or not on a 10' trailer. It may be just fine but you're going to want at least 60% of the weight of the total load forward of the axle. I'm thinking the tongue weight should be somewhere around 150-180 or maybe a little more depending on the weight of the trailer and load.
