I had a string of Mopar minivans for this task but we got rid of the fourth one recently and still have chores that require the trailer. I bought a tow loop hitch and wiring harness at U-Haul and installed them and that setup works well with our 4x9 utility trailer. 


Shortly after the install a neighbor was having an oak taken out and I was permitted to grab about 1/3 cord on one load before the tree guys came back to complete their job. A few days later was a load of driveway gravel. 


The van pulls those loads well and that's the max for what I do. Nice to have some quality Westy time even though we're not camping lately; too many chores involving firewood and gravel. I'm sure mulch and manure will be next.


Stay safe and healthy.
