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,
