Multipurpose Trailer Hauls Different Types of Boats and Cargo

MPG535 In Use

This heavy-duty trailer with 78" crossbars has extensive space to mount accessories like watersport carriers, bike racks, a fishing rod carrier, or a cargo box (sold separately). With a 7-1/2' long tongue, this trailer offers exceptional clearance during tight turns. The extended tongue also makes it easier to back up the trailer and prevent binding than trailers with shorter tongues.


Submersible LED Trailer Lights

MPG535 LED tail lights

The DOT-approved tail lights on this trailer are fully submersible, so you don't have to worry about damaging the lights when loading and unloading your boat in water. Each tail light has brake, running light, and turn signal functions, as well as side marker lights and reflectors. In addition, these LED lights last longer, burn brighter, and require less power than incandescent bulbs.


Plug-and-Play Trailer Wiring

CE48870 main harness to 4-way

The wiring for this trailer has a simple plug-and-play design, so it doesn't require any cutting or splicing to install. As you assemble the trailer, route the main wiring harness through the trailer tongue and down towards the body of the trailer. Then plug the 4-wire end of the tail light harness into the main harness.


CE48870 4-way plug

Run the wires of the tail light harness along the sides of the trailer frame and plug the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the tail lights. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are plugged in, use the included clips to secure the harness to the frame.


CE48870 4-way plug

When you're ready to connect the trailer to your vehicle, simply plug the trailer end of the main harness into the 4-way flat connector on your vehicle.


Leaf Spring Suspension

MPG535 leaf spring suspension

This trailer includes a leaf spring suspension system to limit road shock while you tow. A sturdy steel axle runs beneath the trailer frame. The 2 slipper springs that support the axle flex to absorb the rough motion that can occur when driving over bumpy terrain. Also, the axle, spring hangers, and tie plate are galvanized to resist rust and corrosion.


Quick and Easy Trailer Hookup

MPG535 trigger style coupler

Hooking this trailer to your vehicle is quick and easy. The trailer's coupler connects to a 2" hitch ball, and the included safety chains act as an emergency measure if the coupler accidentally disconnects from your hitch ball. A rubber coated lift handle is mounted to the coupler to provide a solid grip for lifting or maneuvering the trailer. Finally, the skid plate on the underside of the trailer tongue keeps the coupler from touching the ground.

The packaging left a little to be desired, so some pieces arrived dented. My sister and I assembled this in a few hours. I had to take some links off of the safety chains to avoid dragging. To install the Malone trunk, you have to drill holes in the trailer...why doesn't the trailer come pre-drilled with these? It already has numerous pre-drilled holes in it, some of which are not used...so why not have these holes for the trunk brackets pre-drilled? I removed the triangular skid off of the tongue of the trailer, once I saw how low it hung, which could be a problem. I then installed the jack-stand with the wheel, which was the best solution, trust me, but the jack-stand handle is an issue (see my review for it). I also added some DOT speced reflective tape for safety, after taking off the Malone decals. This is a nice trailer, but it is definitely overpriced for what you get.

You can see in the pic that I have not yet flipped the ball hitch from the 2-3/4" drop side to the 3/4" rise, which I eventually did for the clearance.

As always, thanks William B, for your help. You're the greatest.

Excellent trailer for my two kayaks …nice not to have to lift kayaks onto top of car ….



by:

I love my Malone MicroSport Trailer! It was shipped carefully in four easy to handle boxes, came complete and undamaged, and the assembly instructions were clear. I assembled it in one afternoon. I keep my two Perception 12' kayaks and two mountain bikes on the racks, so I am ready to hitch and go whenever I feel the urge. I recommend this product highly, without reservation.



by:

Great trailer to hold my large fishing kayaks. I am glad I went with this solution as I can permanently store my kayaks on the trailer under my lean to. The trailer took a while to build admittedly and I did have to run to the hardware store to grab a nut I was shorted and replace a metric carriage bolt with thread damage, but overall it is a solid product that drives well and I highly recommend.

A couple notes: The lighting kit is a 4 pin, so you may need to get an adapter if you have an older vehicle (mine had a 7 pin circle style plug only). Also, there is no space tire holder on the trailer like you see in the pictures so you will either have to throw it in your vehicle or acquire parts to attach it to the trailer.



by:

Very nice trailer. Took 2 days to put together but it all went well.



by:

Excellent trailer. Highly recommended!

  • Can Malone MicroSport Trailer Use Thule Accessories
    The Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G can absolutely utilize your Thule accessories because it uses standard square crossbars which are the same as those you would find on a roof rack. So using the MicroSport trailer is a lot like utilizing a roof rack that you are towing behind your vehicle. The biggest difference is this trailer is a whole lot easier to access than the top of most roofs. If you are looking for the easiest way to haul a kayak, this is it. I have added a photo a customer...

  • Will ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tires Fit a Malone MicroSport Trailer?
    The Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G is going to come with a 4.80-12 Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670. With the Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Vesper White Mod Wheel # TA43RR being 3-1/2" taller and 2" wider you are going to have to modify the fenders and their mounts to accommodate the larger tires.

  • Fit of Yakima FrontLoader Bike Rack and JayLow Kayak Carrier with Malone MicroSport Trailer
    The crossbars used on the Malone #MPG460G MicroSport trailer measure 1-1/4 inches square, which is compatible with both the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 and the # Y02103 FrontLoader roof mount bike rack. I've linked to demonstration videos for the FrontLoader, JayLow and the Malone MicroSport trailer.

  • What Makes the Yakima Rack and Roll Different From the Malone MicroSport Trailers
    The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08107 is designed primarily for lighter loads such as watersport accessories and cargo. These lighter loads require a more sophisticated suspension i.e. coilovers in order to ride smoothly. If you just need to carry more weight and don't mind a rougher ride then you can go with the Malone MicroSport Trailer part # MPG460G which has an 800 lbs weight capacity and utilizes a less sophisticated leaf spring suspension system that can carry more yes but...

  • Recommended Canoe Carrier For Short Bed Truck
    The longest load extender is the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender for 2" Hitches - 400 lbs # EM07600. This is 52-1/2" long x 48-1/2" wide. For a 16 foot canoe, there really isn't a good solution for such a short bed without going onto the roof. I recommend the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar # RTL002 for your application. If you really don't want anything on your roof, then I recommend the Malone MicroSport Trailer - Galvanized Steel Wheels - 13' Long - 375...

  • Best Way to Transport Heavy SUP & Kayaks on 2014 Kia Soul That has Factory Roof Rack
    So there is a way that is going to allow you to transport your kayaks and SUP with your 2014 Kia Soul, but the issue is the factory roof rack, so the only option is going to be a kayak trailer. There simply isn't any type of load assist that is going to work with your factory rack, and there's no way to carry 98 lbs of SUP/Kayak on a rack that has a 100 lb capacity - any carrier is going to overextend the rack. So your only option truly is a trailer, and here are the parts you'll need: -...

  • Can The Tongue On The Malone MicroSport Trailer Be Shortened By Just A Few Inches?
    Hello Keith, thanks for reaching out. Cutting the tongue on your Malone # MPG460G trailer is an option if you are wanting to shorten the tongue only a few inches. You could un-bolt the coupler and disconnect the wiring and have a section of tongue cut off, then reconnect the wiring and bolt the coupler back on. A few holes would need to be drilled in the tongue for this to work. Or you could use a Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB230101 if you need to shorten the tongue for storage...

  • Recommended Kayak Trailer to Haul Two 14' Kayaks
    Well if you plan on sticking with just two 14' kayaks then the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G is the way to go. This trailer is a bit more expensive than the EcoLight, but you do get a bit more trailer for the difference. This trailer, as I'm sure you're aware, has a much higher weight capacity at 800 lbs and can haul boats up to 20' long which gives you plenty of wiggle room. If you plan on hauling more than 2 kayaks then all you'd need to do is get the 2nd Tier Load Bar System...

  • How to Determine How Many Bikes You Can Carry on a Malone MicroSport Trailer w/ Pilot Bike Racks
    There really isn't a for sure answer, because ultimately it will depend on your bikes. The Malone Pilot Trailer Bike Rack # MPG2100 itself is only 6" wide. Which means in theory you can fit 13 of them on the 78" wide crossbars of the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G. But realistically that is not going to happen. I would say you could probably fit 5-6 bikes on the trailer while leaving room for side to side movement. If you don't mind your bikes clanging together, you might be able...

    It would depend on the model of the Malone MicroSport. Assuming you are talking about a model like the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G with 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" square crossbars, then yes the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier # Y04084 can be used.

  • Can Spare Be Carried on Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT
    I attached a picture that shows where the spare part # MPG465 would mount on the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT that has a retractable tongue. The crossbar spread for this is between 44 and 63 inches normally which might get slightly reduced when carrying the spare, but in most cases there's no need for that much of a spread.

    The Malone MicroSport to LowBed Trailer Conversion Support Tubes # MAL33TR will use the same u-bolts and hardware already on your Malone MicroSport Trailer. The conversion kits work with the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT, Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G and as replacement tubes for the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MPG464-LB. If you have a different MicroSport trailer, this would not be the correct conversion kit.

  • Is There Any Way to Transport a Rooftop Tent with a Hard Top 1999 Jeep TJ?
    I have a creative solution for you. Unfortunately, all crossbar manufacturers we carry will not give you the proper static weight capacity you need in order to accommodate body weight and the weight of a tent on your 1999 Jeep Tj's hardtop. However, if you are set on transporting and mounting a tent, I recommend mounting the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK05 on the crossbars of the Malone MicroSport Trailer - 78" # MPG460G.

  • Is the Yakima JayLow Compatible with the Malone MicroSport Trailer
    The Malone MicroSport Trailer, part # MPG460G, has crossbars that measure 1-1/4" by 1-1/4". The reason the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier, part # Y04073, will not stay in place is because they generally aren't meant for such small crossbars. They are compatible with square bars, but not bars that small. Instead, you'll need to use a different kayak carrier. I recommend the Malone J-Pro2, part # MPG117MD. It's not only confirmed to fit the MicroSport, but is even offered as a combination...

    The Retractable Tongue Kit for Malone MicroSport Trailers # MPG494 is designed to replace a damaged tongue on a MicroSportXT # MPG460XT, or to upgrade the tongue on a Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G. Both of these trailers have an overall length of 13' 3" long, but when # MPG494 is installed, reduces the length to 8' 2".

Both the Rack and Roll and Easy Rider trailer axles should be greased before installation as part of maintenance but have sealed bearings so would not be a fit for the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A.
