Trailer size help.

I'm looking into getting a trailer to haul my pickup. I drive a tundra so not worried about the weight. Im looking to haul my 1986 toyota pickup with 35s. I found a 6x12 trailer for a good price. Is the 12ft long enough?

You need to be more concerned with the weight the trailer can carry than if the truck will fit on it . Your truck weights about 3.5k a 6x12 usually can carry about 2k. You need to be looking into a trailer rated rated for 7k gvrw and that has brakes. Does your tundra have a brake controller in it?

Old thread but.. Fwiw

12' might fit the wheel base, but mine is right about 14' with no bumpers.

Thanks for the feedback. I went to a trailer dealer and got all my questions answered a few months ago. Decided on finding something a little longer than I can haul 2 vehicles on in case a buddies rig gets trashed wheeling. Thanks though

What length did you end up going with? Hows the tundra handle that size load?
