Just brought the new trailer home... I think I am going to really like this trailer.... It is a 2007 Triton AUT 12-82 All aluminum. The bed on this trailer has 10 slide rails built into the floor, it has unlimited tie down options and mounting options, this is what pushed me to go with the Triton, I was buying a aluminum trailer and narrowed it down to 2, this and a Aluma, but for the same money the Triton just had more features. I went with a utility style instead of a side load ATV style, I really want to be able to use this trailer for hauling mowers and then of course my ATV's, I think I made the right decision. This little guy is 12 ft long by 82 inches wide, just a tad bigger than my last trailer. I cant wait to load the wheelers for SNIRT and break in the new trailer !!!        |

I bought a couple pairs of each of these...   And ordered 2 more pairs of these (they were out of stock) the trailer already has 4.  I will mount a poly or diamond plate box on the tongue of the trailer and keep most of them in there along with straps, this way I can easily strap just about anything down. |

Very nice. It looks like it will tow extremely easy. I doubt that your truck will even know that it is behind it.

Hi AM,  Nice trailer. Should work great for you. I have the perfect unit for your Tug-Hill trips, a Toy-Hauler, that way you can bring your room with you as well. Plus you'll be able to camp with us on "The Lot"  I put mine on the market. |

Wish I was in a position to purchase your Toy-hauler, as it is definetely nice, but I am still working on paying for the cruise I am taking with my daughters, and girlfriend, this summer. You should take it down to the Boat/ Camper show in Plattsburgh this weekend. I will definetely see you at SNIRT! |

Funny you say this... It was weird, I went RT 81 home from Mexico after buying it to see how it towed empty on the highway at 75 ish... This rear gate is like a boat sail.... I am not used to it for sure, it has major drag compared to my old trailer with a expanded metal gate. I think the wider aluminum cross members are catching a lot more air than the old trailer. I will have to see how it feels when loaded with 2 or 3 wheelers... Pj |

Does anyone have license plate mounting ideas?
I really don't want to mount it to the stock location under the left rear tail light assembly, it will be way low and get bent easily...
I was thinking of mounting a license plate bracket to the bottom right or left of the rear gate and putting it there.
Any thoughts on this?

That sounds like a good idea. My Maxiroule snowmobile trailer mounts the plate under the trailer behind the left rear tire and I have lost two plates, in as many years, with it in that location. I am going to have to come up with a different location for my next plate. Not exactly legal, but I may just screw it into the side of the salt shield.
And, Ken.... I am going on my cruise the last week in July. Cruising to Nova Scotia with my daughters and girlfriend.

Jack, enjoy your cruise and have a cold one while thinking of us poor folks back on dry ground  If you guys relocate your plates remember to be legal and pass inspection you also have to put a light on it. That's the reason the manufacture put them under the tail light because the bottom of the tail light is clear to work as a license plate light. Ken |
