I have looked at a lot of options from custom enclosed (I didn't like the fact it would have to be so tall) to car haulers (to heavy) and just standard open trailers(which I have decided will best fit our family's needs). I was going to go with a 6x14 single axel open but I did not like the fact the axel seemed to far back which caused the tongue to be heavy and it looked like I would have to park at the back of the trailer to put the weight over the axel. I was concerned with tongue weight because when I am hooking up to the trailer by myself I would rather pick up the tongue and move it over instead of trying to get in and out of the truck 200 times. I know I need a back-up camera but I just paid cash for a 4 with a fold out windshield a hard top and a new trailer (not trying to brag just saying my wife will choke me out if spend on anymore toys) so any way I have talked a lot with a buddy of mine who is a trailer dealer and for me and all the reasons above I have ordered a 6x12, I think it will track well behind my full size truck and it will hold the pioneer with a little room on each side. I thought about a 6.5x12 so if I wanted bigger tires later on I would have room for them but decided bigger tires would also get me choked out.
Congrats on the new toy she is a beast.
Not sure where you are.... There is a trailer dealer near me that I bought a 2x3" tubing 6x12' dovetail from, 3500lb axle, 15" tires, with ramp and wood floors for $1100 cash, Lowes wanted $1899 +tax for same.
Fits on the 6x12 and loads the tongue perfect, if you center the rear foot wells just ahead of the trailer axle.
