check it out, gonna give my work truck a break. car gets 35-40+ mpg without the trailer. cant wait to see how it effects mpg.
trailer weighs 245lbs. so less than 650lbs. loaded.

I use to pull my 12 foot trailer with a 95 Taurus. Load the quad forward or you will distroy your rear fenders going down the road that way.

its turned around now. it didnt come close to destroying it but the one side would flutter just enough to rub on the rack. good looking out though.
ran a tank through this weekend with the quad and trailer and got 34mpg on the highway! ill take it.

it is a manual.

this car is about gutless before you hook up the trailer. it dogs it hard on acceleration but it will get up to speed and stay there no problem as long as there are no hills.

when a hill comes up ive got to downshift but itll hold 60 or so in fourth. on flat itll cruise 75-80 no prob. more if you want it.

otherwise you can hardly tell its back there. it still stops controllably and handles predictably. trailer doesnt boss it around at all. always give yourself extra distance when trailering anything.

awesome, thanks for the info dude, what would you think of a 2 quad trailer? Do you think it put a lot of wear and tear on the car?
