I have build a frame for the back that will hold two fish bins and has a bench seat for two extra riders, one each side of the driver. Have driven some steep country with two riders and three boned out deer on board without issue. Have towed a trailer out with three gutted deer and I have to say that putting all the heavy weight in the trailer makes things feel safer.
Bike fits on a single axle 1200x2400 Kea trailer and I tow it from Auckland to Napier without issue.

I am on my 3rd UTE
I change @ 2 yrs - never paid more than 10K (they special them on and off)
Great bike - just drop your gear in the back - no tying on etc
Amazing downhill braking
