Tow Behind Sleigh Options

Recommended Posts

What is everyone using for a tow behind sleigh?  We have a trex 72 pelican and love it.  Very well built and tows great.  But am trying to get setup so I can take it home from the lake and it's too long to fit in a 66" long truck bed.  Have been looking at the trex 60 and although it fits, the width and depth are also much smaller meaning its not going to hold enough gear.  Does anyone know of a good sleigh that is 66" long or slightly shorter that still has decent depth and width?

First post on here. Been reading for years, lots of great info. 
I looked for a long time as well. I went through a couple of the cheaper plastic ones. But I only got a season or two out of them. So I built one. It fits in the back of my truck (shortbox gm). I couldn’t find one that I liked and was durable enough to make it into camp. It has a removable tongue and I built it to fit a truck toolbox. It keeps all our food and supplies dry and secure. Toolbox is just bungeed in so it’s easily removable. It also fits under my tonneau cover with the toolbox in it. I also built a rack that fits into the linq brackets on my renegade. It holds the stackable dewalt toolboxes and works slick for carrying just about anything. All made from aluminum so nice and light and strong.

Very nice work on the sled mounted box. It looks like the box on the back of my Skandic.  Never tig welded,  (mig and stick very well). I send aluminum welding to experts. Better patent that or BRP might steal it as their own.

Thanks

The equinox products are well made.

In the arctic (-50C or colder without wind) we'd routinely load them way past stated capacity. We'd pound them over rocks, jagged sea ice, literally they would drop a few feet loaded with 1000 lbs of gear onto rocks. I was very impressed with the quality.

Received an advertising email from Karyon snowmobile sleighs. Not quite what OP were looking for but it’s a Canadian company and you could possibly modify so if you haven’t seen before here they are.  Looks light weight.

Interesting product that sled clubs could have for pulling in disabled sleds but for most pelican style would be way to go.

Ugh....

 

Any idea what their target age bracket is?

It sure sounds like it must be the "20 sumpthin' " crowd.
