How Much Space Does Retractable Tongue of Malone MicroSport Trailer Save
Updated 06/15/2020 | Published 07/25/2019
Question:
What is the height of the trailer with the tongue retracted? I have a standard type attached garage and hope this trailer will fit into limited space. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
I believe you were referencing the length of the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT in regards to the retractable tongue kit (though you were likely thinking height in terms of storage, which would be completely understandable).
The retractable tongue kit on this trailer decreases the length by a full 61 inches; the trailer's normal length is 13 feet 3 inches but when the tongue is retracted it is 8 feet, 2 inches (98 inches).
The MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT will also be just 78 inches wide so it is very compact for a trailer. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.

One of the answers to a question said the retracted length of this trailer is 8' 2". How exact is that? The height of my planned storage space is literally just a half inch more than that at 8' 2.5".
