I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with my Chariot Trailer. It is so easy to use, it is a pleasure. Most trailers out there have a skinny ramp to ride up on……not the Chariot! I like the fact that the ramp is the full width of the trailer, which is a great feature when loading a Goldwing like I have. I can start or stop at anytime during the loading and unloading process, and have both feet securely on a flat surface. Try that with one of those other trailers with skinny ramps! Also, having the wheel chock makes a huge difference.

Once my bike is loaded onto the trailer and into the wheel chock, I can get off the bike with confidence knowing that it is not going to move or fall over. This makes my tie down procedure a breeze. And the best part about loading my Goldwing on the Chariot is that I can load and tie down the bike by myself, without any help, in 10-15 minutes. Once loaded and on the road, the Chariot goes virtually undetected behind my car. It does not sway, and rides extremely smooth. The protective fairing truly protects my bike from all the road debris, and also adds to the unique look of my trailer. And even though I had the trailer painted and swapped out the original rims for the chrome rims for my own personal taste, I am always getting complimented by other bikers and even strangers as to how nice my Chariot Trailer is! Well I thinks so too,( in more ways than one) and just had to write and tell you. Keep up the good work!!

I have now owned my trailer for over ten years. We are in our 60′s now and we want something easy to use and maintain. I have to tell you we like it more now than when we bought it. It has served us beyond our expectations. It trails so well that we have to look in our rear view mirror to know that it is still there. When we pull it with our motor home we leave the rear view TV on to make sure it is still there. I have owned a lot of trailers over the years and this is the only one that I have ever had to do anything to except check the tires and go.

Thanks for building an exceptional trailer.

It is not often that I have been so impressed with a product I am willing to write a letter, but with my Chariot trailer. I would feel I’m doing future purchasers and those considering a trailer purchase a disservice by not doing so.

I travel a lot in my business as I promote resort cities. I stay at each area about a month before moving on to the next and I produce about 4 of these a year. I purchased a custom chopper, a Pro-Street model by Big Bear Choppers. I took my new bike in to a performance shop in Largo and I had mentioned I needed to purchase a trailer and the owner recommended a Chariot trailer. They said they’re manufactured right here in Tampa area and they have the reputation of being the “Cadillac” of motorcycle trailer and I soon discover why.

My vehicle is a Lexus RX300 and it has the tow package with a rating of 3,500lbs. This is a 6 cyl front wheel drive vehicle and I purchased it as it is rated as having the smoothest ride in the SUV line and on long drives like I drive, I want comfort ability. I had already looked at a few trailers and was very disillusioned as to the weight factor. Another reason I purchased the 6cyl RX model and not the 8 cyl is fuel consumption. The trailer I looked at with my bike was at or over the 3500lb limit. When I found out a Chariot only weighed 700 lbs with a tongue weight in a 6 x10 model, I was delighted. The more I looked at a Chariot, the more the decision was made for me. Have you ever seen an enclosed trailer that is 5 or 10 years old? They are a steel frame with a box built on top. A Chariot is made of fiberglass and is a uni-body. You wash and wax it like a boat. Twenty years from now my Chariot is going to look good going down the road. Should I be in an accident, as long as my bike tied down properly, it is not going to harm due to the strength of the uni-body trailer. If you get into an accident with one of those other trailers, the first thing to go is the box built on top of the frame. I hooked one up to my SUV and went down the road with it; as the dealer was trying to tell me it wasn’t too heavy for my SUV. It was like towing a parachute compared to the Chariot!

The Chariot and my bike weigh less than most of the other models I looked at. I didn’t know the Chariot was back there unless I hit bumps on the highway.  It is aero-dynamic above and below with the twin torsion axels on big 14” tires, with a full size spare. I have an access window, its self loading; it doesn’t have to be connected to my truck to get my bike in and out. It is like a mini garage for me as I stay at hotel. I purchased a separate wheel lock device (it is a bar that bolts on to the rim and I used a gorilla lock on the tongue). It is a trailer I can stand up in and move around and I have a camper type door complete with a screen door. In fact you can make your Chariot a camper. I have a vent to let heat out from the motor on the roof and let fresh air in and an interior light for checking my tie downs and bike at night.

When I wash my SUV at a self-serve car washes, I was perturbed a couple of times when I would be cleaning or doing something with my bike and someone would come up and ask about my trailer, not my bike. People would look at my bike and say that doesn’t fit in there, does it? Perfectly, is my answer, along with luggage strapped on both sides. The trailer and my bike get great attention wherever I go and I want to say it has been a pleasure to deal with a company that stands by their product. When you buy a Chariot you become part of a Chariot owner’s family. When I go to bike events, I am constantly asked about my trailer as it really stands out above the rest. It is the Cadillac of trailers and I’m proud to own one.

Then there is the money and the question of value. If you are already familiar with the principle that quality always pays for itself, I need not speak to you. I don’t think there is another trailer that can hold its value the way a Chariot can. Fiberglass doesn’t decline in value the way tin sheets and plywood does. Last but not least, and I do speak from experience, Chariot trailer stands 100% behind their product. These are companies that spout customer service and then there are those that actually do… Chariot Trailer is one of them.
