I pulled a loaded U-Haul 5x9 open from DC to Rhode Island with a 1.9l Westy no problem. 4x8 utility trailer is extremely handy. Mine came from Redtrailer.com; it's essentially similar to the Harbor Freight ones except it has a straight tongue instead of A-frame. Can fold to store vertically; bed can tilt (but hang your license plate if you contemplate doing that, so it can fold out of the way). Mine has 12" wheels, additional cost from 8" is modest. Yrs, d |
