I am about to buy a trailer, dont have an atv yet, but want a trailer big enough for two atvs. what do you guys suggest?
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.
would measure them, but havent bought them yet ;)
well, i know that we fit 4 4x4 quads on a 20ft equiptment trailer....
we have a 6x12 and fit 3 atvs sideways on it.
Then I'd try the manufacturer specs for the length, most likely 14 foot will be enough.
oh btw ours is 6'4" to fit the rancher on it sideways. the 4 inches make the difference. ;)
wut kind of wheelers u looking to get
You dont need a 14 foot long to fit only 2 quads. My 6x12 fits 3 sideways.
I also have a 6x12 fits two end to end our 3 side loaded
they will be utility quads, probably 500s, low on funds or i would go down and drop the coin on a 700 like my bud's but getting used is the way i have to go so i'm not sure what exactly im gonna have when it's all said and done
6x12 would be fine then. that gives you room for tool boxes and gear too.

keep in mind aftermarket tires & rims on the bikes change things 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.

my boyfriend & i tried to put a 06 forman 4x4 & a 03 rancher 4x4 on a 6x12 & it didn't work out too well....
we put a rancher on it sideways. with a recon and a yfz.
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.
a 5x14 would be good for you probably. we looked at them for 2 atvs also.

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.
