Trailer Size For A Pig?

[PabloCruise]

Can anyone help me out with what size car trailer I need to haul a Pig?

I've got some help moving a Pig, but the \y want to make sure their trailer is big enough...

TIA,

When I weighed Pig, it was 4280 with 35's aluminum rims, sliders, etc. I would imagine as long as the car hauler is a tandem axle you'll be fine. Here's a pic of size one I used to haul pig after the roll.

I would honestly be more worried about what you are towing it with. The 80 was not happy towing this setup even with trailer brakes. I wouldn't want to take it any distance at all.

Powerstroke should do it...

Do you know the dimensions - L x W?

Thanks!

Pablo; I just got in from bringing the 69 pig"yeah I did the stupid thing" bought it!......... on a standard U-haul tandem car trailer with electric brakes......no problem and the pig fit nicely........camera is with my daughter so appologize for no pix the U-haul peeps said I could not tow it/fj55 with a 2500 Dodge Ram Turbo diesel???.......HUH??; Have towed 3 pallets of rock with a receiver hitch 2inch ball.....just was VERY carefull, you should not have any problems with a power stroke diesel...........make sure you secure it very well with chains/comealongs and it made a difference when it was loaded forwards; towards the tow truck..........take the center of gravity forwards, it towed a lot better for me loaded that way ............good luck

you can see in FJBen's pix what did NOT work for me....ihis pig is too far back; I had it loaded like that BUT after a few miles was scared pi**less of the trailers wanderings..........the more weight I had forward the happier the towing went...300 miles total.........not terribly far but enough to give an idea;
