My goal is
For National Forest Roads, and BLM land. (Tow vehicle is a unlifted Jeep JKU with tow package, axle, 3,500#)
Nothing technical, if you can get there in a mini-van, then thats what I'm after.
thanks in advance.

Unless you're concerned about approach/departure angles, I think the combined length is the more important number rather than the exact length of the trailer. I only tow 10- and 12-footers around cross country, so no personal data on 14+ feet ...

thanks!
That Gila National Forest looks great. Looks like the rangers do a great job keeping the roads graded, and warning signs posted.
Only national Forest roads if been on is in Missouri. My GPS keep trying to get me killed..
Those roads look way better than I what I'm use to. I'm sure their much worse out there though.
Call me a wuss, but I look at it like this. If I have to use 4WD, I've done something wrong. (Like listen to my GPS.. )

thanks, that type of feedback is exactly what I didn't want to hear.. But I needed to hear..
I really appreciate it.
So you mean 6x10 is as wide as you would want, or as long as you would want or both?
thanks again!

I will say a 6x10 is a good size that I think a lot of people pass up on. Lot of bang for the buck!
