[QUOTE="fizzle, post: 1085199, member: 68959"] The 4'x8' trailer is very affordable....around $300 or so. The 5'x10' trailer is about 3X the cost (around $900 from tractor supply). I originally went to tractor supply to get the 4x8 trailer....but after looking at it, I went with the 5'x10' for many reasons (aside from the obvious larger deck space): 1. The 5x10 has 15" wheels, which run way better at interstate speeds, handle bumps better etc... The 4x8 comes with 12" wheels, which are a bit on the small side for interstate driving. 2. The 5x10 has the A-frame tongue, which is more stable than the 'T-frame' tongue, especially for rougher roads (or dirt roads such as the one leading up to my local MX track). 3. The 5x10 has a longer distance from hitch to axle, making it easier to back, and MUCH less succeptable to whipping side to side at interstate highway speeds. I ended up spending a few more $ than I wanted to, but in the end, I have peace of mind that I can load my bikes, drive 80mph on the interstate, drive on rough gravel roads, without worrying that my trailer will toast the springs, wheel bearings or blow a tire and dump its' expensive cargo. For me, it's well worth the cost. I have also seen easy modifications to these trailers to give them more deck space. The most common one I have seen is extending the deck flush with the edge of the wheel wells, giving enough room to park 2 large 4-wheelers sideways (or 3 bikes side-by-side). [/QUOTE]
