If you are a need of a great trailer to haul all of your gear this season, check out Thule’s Model 1205 Trailer. Here’s what our friends at SNEWS had to say about it…

The Thule Trailer is constructed of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and aluminum to stand up to the elements and, as best a trailer can, look somewhat classy. Yes, we’ve had folks walk all the way across a parking lot, and even lean out of a truck window to ask us, “That’s one awesome looking trailer…where did you get it?” Yep, you know you’re towing one piece of quality gear when others on the road publicly express trailer envy.

We quickly appreciated the smooth ride of the trailer, both empty and fully loaded, thanks in large part to the stability provided by a V-shaped tongue that extends well back into the trailer bed, combined with the radial tires and independent suspension. Even over rough roads and when powering out of a sudden maneuver to avoid obstacles, we experienced no weaving, common with trailers of lesser quality.

The drop-down tailgate is very easy to use, extremely secure when locked down, and completely removable in just a few seconds if desired. Plastic tie-down buttons spaced at 1-foot intervals around the top edges of the sides as well as the front and rear of the trailer allow you to quickly and effectively secure a tarp if the need arises.

Our trailer has been filled with dirt, used to haul garbage, filled with furniture, loaded down with 1,000 pounds of gravel, and used to tote gear. We’ve used it with the ABS top on and, more commonly, with the top off. We’ve rolled our ATV in and rolled it out, more than once carelessly glancing a wheel off one side or the other in the process “ OK, so we like to drive a bit fast up the loading ramp. We’ve left it out in the intense California sun and through several driving rainstorms. It’s experienced mud, ice, snow and numerous cleanings with a hose, and then simply left to drip dry. After one year, we have no dents, dings, or even one mark of corrosion. We’re impressed!!!
