not sure if we have a thread for that, but heres my trailer.
its a trailer-in-a-bag, its super compact and can take up to 2000lbs, it only weighs about 120lbs total.
assembly takes about 5 minutes or so.
to make it easier i had a removable chock fabricated on a bracket, so it can be removed if desired. if you look on the 2nd pic, before it was just a metal chock and side stand bracket to lean it over while you strap it, and in the 1st pic the chock i put on holds it upright with nothing at all, free to walk around and take my time strapping it down.
one man operation, and if you look around, i found them for about $500 or so.
heres a pics


and with my trusty tow wagon ;) still average 27mpg pulling any bike really.

hehe yeah I'm not a truck guy, so my options are limited.
you can also configure them to take 2 or 3 bikes as well, just need to order the other pieces, but i only transport one at a time so its all good :)

Creeper van and a "Moto-Tote". It made me nervous at first but I've hauled 2 different bikes coast to coast now so I feel better...

As common as the FX4 is, I almost never see one with the full size (6.5') bed. They all seem to be the short bed.
