Trailer, for two or more vehicles such as motorcycles or three-wheelers, having a narrow tongue extending forwardly from a broad platform, the tongue adapted to support the front wheel of one vehicle in position disposed mostly forward of the platform, a tube outlying and above the tongue and body having fittings for attachments of vehicle tie-down straps. A pivotally mounted rear loading ramp is formed by a first tube bent into a U-shape and formed by one or two other tubes parallel to the base of the U-shape and secured to the arms of the U-shape and legs extending laterally from the base of the U-shape, in an oblique plane, to support the base above ground in the down position of the ramp.
