what size trailer for rzr xp 4 1000

I went with a 6×8 ft utility trailer rated for 2,500 lbs. It fits the XP 4 nicely and the extra length helps balance the load. I added a heavy‑duty ramp and tie‑down straps. The only downside is the extra weight when empty, so you’ll feel a bit of a pull on the steering, but it’s manageable.

For me a 5×7 ft trailer with a 2,200‑lb GVWR was perfect. It’s lighter and easier on fuel, and the wheelbase matches the XP 4’s rear axle. Just make sure to get a proper hitch coupler and a brake controller; I learned that the brakes are essential when you’re hauling more than 1,500 lbs.

I’d caution against going too big. I tried a 7×10 ft trailer and the extra length made my turning radius huge, especially on tight trails. The trailer’s sway was also a problem without a sway bar. If you need more cargo space, consider a modular deck that can be removed when not in use.

I’ve been using a 6×6 ft gooseneck trailer with a 2,800‑lb rating. The gooseneck connection gives a tighter turning radius and better stability on rough terrain. It’s a bit pricier, but the ride quality is smoother and you won’t have to worry about trailer sway on the back roads.

Don’t forget the weight distribution hitch. I installed one on my 5×6 ft trailer and it made a huge difference in handling, especially when braking downhill. Also, use ratchet straps and a lockable cargo net to keep your gear secure. A small spare tire on the trailer is a lifesaver if you get a flat on a remote trail.
