I have a 2018 Mission 7.5 x 16 "crossover" i'm very happy with the trailer & it pulls great......hybrid = deckover, crossover = inline
Location has changed for me I used to ride from my house in Phelps now I need to travel a short distance to a parking lot to access trail head. I have a big steel United Expressline trailer that is too heavy to hitch up quickly and go. So I’ll be selling the United Expressline and buy a Hybrid side by side that I can manually lift and hitch up to my truck. Easy on and off. I’m not interested in an inline trailer too long for single handing and the Hybrid will hopefully pull fine up north and again will be single handling on those trips. Mission seems like a quality trailer but I’m curious what owners think? Does it pull smoothly or tend to hop loaded or unloaded? Are lights problematic accessories that are advisable? I have had zero problems with my United Expressline but just too big and heavy for my changed life.
I can not speak to Mission, I have a Legend hybrid. After 10 years of towing a inline 23’ behind a F350 diesel my mileage went down with the hybrid and it felt like a parachute behind the truck. The reason I believe is it is 8’ wide that sits outside of the truck profile. The little tires scare me and if there is a blowout you will be climbing under it to change a tire.
I just put 2700 miles on my Triton 8x12 clamshell single axle with 3 mountain sleds in it with no issues mostly at 75 mph. Added a 3rd tie down plate for the 3rd sled, newer sleds being so narrow worked out well! I did put 10 plys on just to be safe, they did wear a little bit on the insides but my tires have always worn on the inside with just 2 sleds.I have one i like it . But I can't pick it up with 2 sleds in it .
Think mine is 4 or 5 yrs old . Really only bitch is the alloy wheels start to leak air out the bead . Had tires pulled guy ground off the flaking clear put goo on the bead now all good .

Fyi they (snopro) can build you one with a 2nd axel for what I thought was pretty cheep thought like 850. Long story but I paid and did not get it . That is my biggest regret about trailer is not waiting for what I ordered . Especially after finding out I could stuff 3 long tracks in it .talk about sketchy you should see those tires with 3 sleds in it lol
The crossover/inline type trailer he’s speaking of isn’t your typical large inline trailer. They’re single axle and thin sheet metal similar to a clam style trailer. You could definitely maneuver one by hand as they weigh the same as a normal 2 place clam.Location has changed for me I used to ride from my house in Phelps now I need to travel a short distance to a parking lot to access trail head.

if your only hauling 1 sled, I think you would be tons better off getting a single place aluminum cargo like trailer, you get the same rear drive up ramp, trailer would be a bunch narrower, lighter and easier to move and hook up
and odds are a bunch cheaper to buy!
why haul a bigger wider brick behind your vehicle when not needed!
here is a build on one to maybe give you some idea's. he went steel frame, but if keeping a long time, aluminum would be better IMO(lighter to handle as well)
but food for thought here for you
here is a link to a build on a single place trailer!

That’s excellent advise Mrbb and the aluminum cargo trailer did cross my mind and is still rattling around in my mind. It’s that chance that someone buddies up with me going up north and I’m going to need 2 sled capability. But your absolutely correct my primary need to get myself to the trail head is just 1 sled. Then again if I can find a riding bud in the new neighborhood I would be happy to pick him up for a ride too. Idk what to do but light to load is a must. I think it will come down to price an availability. But your in my head I get your thinking.
the real question is why would you buy a house you could not sled out of the driveway ? 100% deal breaker for me . **** a non starter would not even drive by the open house .
