I got a 7’ x 12’ enclosed trailer, thinking about possibly buying a side x side but would like it too fit in my trailer. Is it doable? What which side x sides are narrow enough too make this work if there is a possibility.

Maybe a JD Gator? CanAm Maverick Trail may be narrow enough as well?

I can fit a Canam Defender XMR in my 7 x 14 and probably have at least a couple extra feet.
I had Martins drive it in the trailer before I paid for the SXS.
Its the height you have to watch for.
My XMR is around 82 " high and my door opening is 78.5" but it drives right in.
Doesn't sound right but it fits.
I believe its the angle coming in when you are on the ramp which helps.

Will have too drive a couple in too see how much room I have before I start looking, not in a rush, just like too know what fits before I start looking, will have too check door height for sure, I know I got at least 6 ft

I've had both my RZR-s and my Commander in my 7x12. Any 60" machine should be fine.

The machine fitting is one thing and getting in/out of the machine in the trailer is another. If it has doors on it opening them to get out can be a problem. Unless you just roll it in and out by hand....

Have doors on both. Park tight to the opposite wall, no problem. And I'm not what you'd call a thin guy. :p

With tracks on was a different story. They fit, but getting out is a PITA. Use an open trailer for that.

I would say a ranger would width. Mine fit in the box of my truck. But they’re pretty tall

Yup I’m thinking I will be more concerned about height than width, thx

I have a rzr4 800 that is 60 inch wide and about 10 1/2 foot wheel base. With bumpers ect it’s pretty close to 12 feet.

You can come test fit mine to measure and compare what you have to work with.

As has been posted above drive in tight to passenger side to leave room for door to open. I suggest e-track on floor then use a single tire ratchet strap on a rear tire.
My trailer is wider but i pack lots down the sides between walls and machine.

I have a Wildcat Limited 700 with aftermarket rims and it sits roughly 64" wide.
