Box trailer or open????????
I have a open utility trailer I currently pull behind my 6cyl jeep, its big enough for a bike or a 4 wheeler, but since I have one of each now I would like to get an enclosed trailer large enough for both, what size would you recommend? Do you find yourself packing a lot of extra junk, or do you go with the bare minimum size? Or is it almost totally out of the question for my jeep, I think the wind drag would be pretty rough or do they trailer well? I have no experience with box trailers and need some input, or should I just get a open utility without a tailgate? Price not being important.

I have pulled a 6X10 enclosed trailer with my 6 cyl Jeep Worked pretty good but at 80mph plus its not as stable as a truck. At 70 its good.

I was considering a 6x12, with your jeep was it in a strain to pull it or would it make longer trips say 150 miles in summer without any problems? I find that when my jeep is in a strain it bothers me and I'm tired too when we get to where were going. Thanks for the info.

I was looking at 6x10's and 6x12's I ended up with an 8x12. I have heard of a 6x10 being pulled with a mini van. But I would not want to try pulling much of a trailer with a short wheelbase.

Thats the problem with the Jeep. It will pull ok but with the short wheelbase you stay real busy driving it.
