I figured I would do a proper review on my new trailer – the Triton ATV88-TR – since I know I appreciate when people give their reviews on equipment that I may consider buying. It is a 2 spot side load ATV trailer. I own a 14 Polaris 570 and a 15 Arctic Cat XR 550 XT – both ATV’s fit no problem. The price I paid is $1,399 – not including tax and registration.
I have only used it for one day but I can tell you that I really like it so far. There are a couple issues I have though – first, is when I was installing the brackets – apparently I over-torqued one of the bolts, but it sure didn’t seem like I tightened it that much – anyways the bolt broke off. So I will have to order another.
Second, I have the TR model, which is the twin ramps version. They are stored underneath the trailer. They have hooks on the end that hook onto the lip of the side of the trailer for loading. The ramps seem sturdy enough – but my issue is that they are very narrow. I didn’t measure, but it seems they are only about 10 inches wide. The aftermarket tires on my 570 don’t fit in the groove of the ramps. So that made things interesting.
I already own another ramp though, one that I used to run up my ATV to the back of my Dodge RAM. I have been using that one instead – It’s this ramp if anyone is interested:
One last complaint – is when driving and you hit a bump, the ramps underneath bounce against the brackets that secure them in and it makes quite a bit of noise. That is kind of annoying. I may try to put some cloth or something in there to try to fix that. Actually, now that I think about it, I may just take the ramps out since I have the other ramp I will be using. Problem solved.
Other than the issues I noted, I am happy with it. Everything else has worked great so far and it does what I need it to do. :biggthumpup:
