The instructions were simple to follow and the modifications to the trailer wiring harness were minimal and easy to do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent upgrade to the Malone MicroSport *by M***A on September 10, 2016* Great kit for making the trailer more compact. I bought my Microsport (non-XT) trailer used and this was a great upgrade. Combined it with the Trailer Tongue Kick Stand for a very usable setup. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice trailer addition. *by A***R on October 19, 2019* Overall product is really neat and when trailer tongue is slid in, trailer is extremely compact. Easy to install, provided all the parts arrive in the box, which mine did not. Package was missing the clip nut and u-shaped spacers. Assembly instructions could have been a little clearer, as well. If all the parts would have been shipped I would have rated 4 stars. *UPDATE* Have used for several years now and can say that this device is a trailer storage lifesaver. I use the trailer as a kayak rack when not in use and without the sliding tongue I would be hard pressed for space in the garage. So far the only negative is the amount of wear/wallowing out of the pin hole due to excessive slack while trailering. Will have to modify down the road. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1681403-malone-microsport-trailer-retractable-tongue-kit](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1681403-malone-microsport-trailer-retractable-tongue-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
