What is a Bumper Pull Transporter?
A Bumper Pull Transporter is a type of trailer that attaches to the back of a vehicle using a ball hitch. These trailers are also known as tag-along or drag trailers.
The most common type of hitch is called a bumper pull, also known as a drag or tagalong trailer. Despite its name, the trailer doesn’t connect to the vehicle’s bumper. Instead, the trailer’s tongue fits over a ball hitch that sticks out from the back of the vehicle’s frame.
What are the advantages of a bumper pull trailer?
The main advantage of a bumper pull trailer is its smaller size compared to a gooseneck trailer, which makes it generally cheaper, easier to maneuver, and compatible with a wider range of tow vehicles like SUVs or vans. As it attaches to the vehicle’s bumper, it allows for a normal turn radius when towing; due to its common hitch design, it also tends to be a more beginner-friendly option.
Here are the key benefits of a bumper pull trailer:
- Economical cost: It is less expensive than a gooseneck trailer because it is smaller and has a simpler design.
- More vehicle compatibility: This trailer can be pulled by different types of vehicles, such as SUVs, vans, and pickup trucks, as long as the trailer size and the vehicle’s towing capacity match.
- Easy to use: Because of the bumper hitch attachment, the trailer follows the same path as the vehicle towing it. This makes it easier to handle, especially for people who are new to using trailers.
- The same turn radius: When you’re towing a trailer, it will naturally turn in the same path as the vehicle that’s towing it.
- Standard hitch: Most regular trailers use a standard ball hitch that is easy to find and use for most drivers.
- It takes up less space when parked or stored compared to a gooseneck trailer.
What are the disadvantages of a bumper pull trailer?
Downsides of Bumper-Tow Trailers: A smaller trailer means less living space. Also, if you’re transporting horses or livestock, a smaller trailer means you can’t take as many animals with you.
