I can't verify it will fit, I've never done it. Measure it, get a buddy, and try it. Others on the list have said it will fit as long as you don't have A/C.( then you just have to get past the rear pillars.) The trailer I'm refering to is sold many places under several names. Mine is a Nu-Way. It's 40" x 48", metal frame, usually red (do-it-yourself, bolt-up) with one axle and springs. Just bolt it together, put on the lights, add 1/2 sheet of plywood for a floor, and some 3/4" eyebolts in the corners for tie-downs, and you're all set.(do this on a FLAT surface and make sure the frame is square before putting on the axle/springs) Wiring the lights isn't that bad, even for a novice. Late model vans may have some provisions for this already. (just be sure to wire a ground, otherwise you depend on the connection between the hitch, ball, and bumper. The trailer is usually sold at stores like K-mart, Wal-Mart, DIY, Builder's Square, Lowes, Big R, Tractor Supply Co....and so on. Most stores w/ a "manly-man" or automotive department. If you're moving alot of stuff, go for the 4' x 8' long one. They usually fold in half like a ping-pong table for storage, and are only a little more money. These trailers are small enough to unhitch and move if you can't back a trailer. (tricky for some, takes practice). if you get one try bolting some bicycle flags or something to the trailer so you can see the rear corners while driving/backing-up.
