I'm looking for a 6x10 to haul my ranger. No PJ dealer close, but like their specs.
So many trailer manufacturers to choose from...

I did not order it with a toolbox, but wanted one (and should have included it). Here is why I didn't: The dealership didn't have a specimen tool box in stock to throw on an inventory CC trailer for a fitment test. I wanted to make sure the toolbox wouldn't interfere with opening my tailgate while attached to the trailer...and they weren't sure of the height once mounted. So I left it off the order with the thought of adding it later. Once the trailer came in...they also had a few of the PJ toolboxes and it looks like it would have fit without issue. It's nice that the tool box sits above the mesh basket (pic below) so you get the tool box and the underlying basket.
Apparently PJ has 2 toolbox heights (standard and double decker). Here is the one I might add and should have included. Toolbox BP A Frame No Holes My hope is the dealership is capable of installing it without issue and can touch up the power coat...they utilize matching paint. I had a few service issues with them...but all good now.

I did a lot of research when I went to purchase a trailer. Load capacity, size, easy of use, purpose, best built. I ended up with the LoadTrail. I am completely satisfied with it in every way. I went for the tilt, low profile 14k lb capacity and you can see from my picture it fits well.

762, what size ramps are those?
The gravity, split tilt worries me. If I load buckets, etc to the nose of the trailer, a skid steer is *** heavy so I would be concerned getting the COG over the tipping point to balance the load on the trailer.

I liked the idea of a tilt, but wanted side rails as an option. Also, the lower deck height of a tilt and no ramps would be great. However, I knew I'd some country, rutted, off-road routes and didn't want to drag all that mutch. Ended up with a 2' dovetail.
As far as ramps...it took me a while to figure it out. I liked how the CC ramps slide in and secure in the rear. However, I also knew I might throw a car on the trailer and wanted as much clearance as possible. An option was to make the slide in ramps a foot longer, but upon measuring, they couldn't do it because the ramps would hit the rearmost axle when mounted. Longer than 20' trailers would work, but not the CC20. Ultimately, what I ended up with were the standard flip up ramps (5') plus one extra foot. At 6', they are way up there! I haven't tried a car yet, but hope the extra length helps.

762, If you don't mind, what's the overall length from hitch to ramp? I'm debating on building a storage shed/lean-to and would like to know the length of the trailer. The website isn't helpful.

Sorry for the delay...was actually getting to play with the trailer and tractor.
If you still need it: From front edge of coupler to rear of trailer - 26 feet. Add another 20 inches from rear edge of trailer to rear edge of ramp support leg. The support leg is adjustable...so can be a bit longer.
Hope that helps.
