My 08 does not have ABS. I have locked up the rear a few times without the trailer. The trailer adds 40lbs tongue weight. Not sure how much this equates to rear wheel weight, but enough to make it difficult to lock up. A dog ran in front of me from behind some bushes while I was pulling the mountain bike. I got on the brakes harder than I ever had before. The rear did not skid. No animals were hurt. |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | ABS is not really needed on the rear wheel when pulling a trailer, you can stand on the rear brake and not lock it up. The front on the other hand will wash out if you hit it too hard. It's kinda the opposite of normal motorcycle braking. |

Northeast Ohio | @hdog - Who makes that trailer? It looks great! How is it to pull? Any bouncing? I am looking at the Bushtec Entourage, but am having sticker shock with it. |

| The trailer is a rance aluminum 2x4 and it pulls easy with no bouncing. I have had the trailer for almost 2 years and pulled it for 9K miles+ with no issues. Suspension is torsion Axle and not leaf springs. It was a left ovet 2008 still boxed up and I got it for a steal.
Rance stopped making it when super sport aluminum cargo trailers came out for $1395.00
Baby Blue is what the wife call her.
The following link has some good info.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | The Hitchdoc has a hidden receiver that can accomodate many types of hitches. The one I have has a ball-hitch that slides into that receiver.
