Enclosed trailer issue

[eman928]

Hello everyone,

New to the forum tonight. Looking to get a Xpedition ADV5 Northstar and had a question on trailers.

I currently have an enclosed car trailer with a 6' ramp door. Looking at the Polaris dimensions, it looks like it sits at about 75", so I'm 3" shy of getting it to fit in. Would lowering the air in the tires give me enough room? Or, is there a wheel/tire combo that I could use for trailering-only to get the clearance needed? I know it would be a pain to remove the normal tires to put on the lower trailering tires but I'd really like to stick with an enclosed trailer for safety and to keep it as nice as I can. I live in Michigan but plan to take this out West.

Thanks in advance,

You will probably have a tough time getting that to fit. Your other option would be to upgrade to a taller enclosed. We run a 7’ enclosed height with dovetail so the ramp door opening ends up around 87”. With roof rack and 32” tires I have room to spare.

Someone was considering the same issue in another post and one of the solutions was using ratchet straps from the frame to the A-arms. Using that method, you could probably ratchet it down 3”-4” for transporting.
