Maybe a stupid question, but did you have your own 'ramps' to get it on that trailer? I'm looking to pick a 1000-5 up from a dealer about 90 miles away and don't currently own a trailer, and figured I would just rent one for the day, and get it home, and figure out a longer term hauling solution. Without reading this post, I probably would have go the 6x12 WITH Ramp, but see that it won't fit, so just wondering. I was going to ask the dealer if they had ramps - just wondering what you did. Thanks for the picture! Very clear and helpful!
I feel like you could get it on the trailer without a ramp…but I may be wrong. Dif lock it and drive it right on.

My dealer was 150 - 180 miles from my home.

Well, I did think about that, but wasn't sure if my 'first experience' should be me bulldozing it on. I've seen too many Youtube videos of that going wrong! I also heard the throttle takes a little getting used to! :) BTW, worked it out with the dealer - they are going to deliver it, so I have a bit more time to figure out my long term trailer options.

Nice Rumble Bee and a great color. Nice trailer too. I just have an old steel 6.5 x 12 with wood floors that we use for just about everything. Even pull it behind the P1K-3.View attachment 410488
Thank you. I did not want the slower color... Like your ride too

I do have ramps rated for the SxS but I didn’t use them with this UHaul trailer. I set the brake/parking brake in the Sienna. I made certain the trailer was locked onto the ball. I put the P1K5 in i4wd and low range first gear. Lined up to the trailer. Touched the tires to the gate and gave it a bump of throttle. Pulled the rear tires to the gate and gave it another small bump of throttle. No trouble whatsoever.

Some of this size Uhaul trailers have jacks and others don’t. I prefer the jack and I drop it down while initially loading. Obviously raise it up and move the SxS forward/back to get your tongue weight.
