Utilitrack Trailer

What would prevent someone from constructing a utility trailer of the exact dimensions as a Titan truck bed and installing a Utilitrach system in the trailer?

Re: Utilitrack Trailer

nothing. you could build it anysize you want. the rails come in sections. There are also a couple aftermarket companies that make similar rail systems.

Not a bad idea.

Re: Utilitrack Trailer

It would be kind of cool to have a trailer with same Unitrak rails, you can use all the cleats and tie-down points on both.

Re: Utilitrack Trailer

Many times I've seen old pickup beds used for trailers. A matching set! You could even having matching wheels and paint. Another Mod for your list.

Re: Utilitrack Trailer

Buy uni-strut from your local home hardware super store. Gonna be a whole lot easier to use, and comes in a better length.

Re: Utilitrack Trailer

Unistrut is good stuff, but not as classy or as good quality as utilitrak IMO. Also not aluminum at hardware store. If you have utilitrak in your truck, use it for your trailer. the tracks aren't too expensive and cleats are on ebay for 30-50 for a set of 4. It'd be a real winner, even without the pickup bed design.

This looks OK, but I have an ARE topper on the back of my KC.

Re: Utilitrack Trailer

E-Track already has a big market for trailers. It's really expensive stuff, but there are tons of accessories you can buy with it. I've got 30 feet worth on my utility trailer and couldn't live without it!
