Our take on the Ultra-Tow Tag-Along Pull Behind Motorcycle Cargo Trailer

The Ultra-Tow Tag-Along is a bolt-together steel cargo trailer kit that can be pulled behind a motorcycle or a small car. It carries up to 200 lb behind a bike and 600 lb behind a car, with a 780 lb gross vehicle weight rating, 12-inch wheels, a 1-7/8-inch coupler and included lights. It ships unassembled at 171 lb, so plan on a few hours with tools. The latest best price sits at the low end of its recent range, making it a cheaper entry than most assembled motorcycle trailers.

Best forMotorcycle campers and touring riders hauling gearOwners of small cars adding occasional cargo capacityDIY buyers who want a low-cost kit they assemble themselvesHauling light loads like luggage, tools or a cooler
Pros
  • Dual rating: 200 lb behind a motorcycle, 600 lb behind a car
  • 780 lb GVWR leaves real payload headroom
  • Lights and 1-7/8-inch coupler included
  • 12-inch wheels track better than small utility-trailer wheels
  • Steel frame is simple to repair and modify
Cons
  • Ships as a kit; assembly and wiring take time
  • 171 lb empty weight eats into the 200 lb motorcycle limit
  • No ramps and no tilt bed, so loading is manual
  • 1-7/8-inch coupler is light-duty and needs a matching hitch
  • No brakes, which matters near the 600 lb car limit

Questions and answers

Is it worth it over a used trailer?
At its current best price it undercuts most assembled motorcycle trailers, but you supply the labor. A used trailer saves assembly time; this kit saves money and gives you new parts.
Can I really pull it with a motorcycle?
Yes, but only up to 200 lb of load, and the trailer itself weighs 171 lb. Keep total weight well under that and check your bike's towing rating.
What hitch do I need?
It uses a 1-7/8-inch coupler, so you need a matching 1-7/8-inch ball. That is lighter-duty than the 2-inch couplers on most utility trailers.
What's in the box?
The kit includes the steel frame, axle, 12-inch wheels, lights and coupler, unassembled. Ramps and a tilt bed are not included.
How long does assembly take?
Plan on several hours for the frame plus wiring the lights. Having a second person helps with the heavier frame sections.
When is it cheapest?
Trailer kits tend to dip outside the spring and summer towing season. The current price is already near the low end of its recent range.
