So your looking at a trailer rated to 21,000 pounds. Is this just an open interior with fuel tank and water tank only. The price of 5K seems ok for this trailer but here are my reservations. This is going to be a heavy trailer and do you need to carry that heavey of a load and do you need a 20 foot long trailer. I'm thinking you could buy a 16-18 foot pace type enclosed trailer with a double axel or a single 6000-7000 pound axel cheaper. Not as much trailer but if you don't need that much trailer, the extra will just be a burdon and take extra fuel. Look on Ebay and you should get a good idea of what they are going for especially if you look in the completed listings. Another place to look is in the truck trader or other title by same group. One of their magizines covers trailers for sale. They are avavilable at most convience stores. As far as water and gas goes, the farm suply stores sell tanks real cheap. Ebay has 42 gal new fresh water tanks for $100 including shipping. Just some thoughts. 5k is a good buy on that trailer.

I came across this by accident.I have the flat open trailer but always thought about an enclosed one.The ones i have seen all had low doors and because of the height of my trooper with the cargo rack on top it would not fit.Its an open interior with a removable/adjustable ramp that the trooper can be driven up on thus giving more room under it for storage or a couple quads should i ever get anymore toys.According to what i was told the trailer itself weighs in at 3,500lbs.

From experience as I just sold my triple axle trailer. Triple axle stops, pulls & tracks great even in the wind. On the bad side, the rear axle scrubs the tires every time you make a turn. Over time it tears the tire apart. Trailer tires do not hold up to this or heat & speed. I went thu 11 tires before I finally bit the bullet and upgraded the rims to 16" so I could run LT Pickup/Truck tires as I was very heavy also. Then the problem seemed to have gone away. Sold the trailer after that. Only downside I know of, just watch the tires. If you go on rv.net in the Toyhauler forum you will see all the post of others & ME.

      DO NOT BUY A LANDMASTER UTV!!!!!!
      By Chucky 1
      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!

      By LindaCall60
      Purchased a 2011 bighorn banchee. Needs motor work. Not sure what. Husband is mechanic but not computer savvy. So, is there a manual that will tell him how to tear this down?  We have down loaded a service manual, but he says it doesn't tell him what he is looking for.

      need help choosing UTV soundbar gift plz (~$300 Budget)
      By Kalyla Jackson
      Hey all!
      I'm on a mission to buy my first UTV soundbar as a gift for my dad. I'm aiming for something that offers great sound quality without breaking the bank – my budget is around $250. Right now, I'm considering options like ecoxgear, kemimoto, and boss.
      Does anyone have experience with these brands or specific models that you'd recommend? Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated!
      Thanks in advance for your help!

      DONT BUY RPM MOTORSPORTS ! Junk exhausts!
      By Rizzguy
      Don’t waste your time everybody with rpm motorsports, Omaha. They are people that don’t even work on sxs’s. Trying to tell you how to install things.
      Completely uneducated guy tried to tell me I did not install a mid pipe correctly when it won’t install correctly; that was the reason for the video and the complaint that I called him about.
      This mid pipe has a 1 inch gap at the rear, and the only way to close it up is with a longer bolt, and to stretch the flex at the Exhaust
      After one ride, the rear bolts have disappeared, because how much tension there is on the flex
      And the bolts does not line up at the flange
      Have a video before and after. And they are telling me that it’s my fault because it does not fit
      wtf.!
      What kind of idiotic people are even answering the phones these days.?
      This guy has probably only read a book and never even driven a motorcycle in his life
      Don’t waste your time with this bullshit products
