I have a 95 2d 2wd tracker with manual tranny. I am considering getting a very lightweight utility trailer for hauling the occasional console stereo or electronic organ. Some of these units can begin to approach 800 lbs. I have noticed that the rear end on this thing likes to squat and drift outward on freeway ramps etc. so I am very much inclined to go with some thing short 6 to 8 feet and very light in weight.
Any one have any recommendations. I don't think I can afford the weight of an enclosed trailer and I would be concerned about wind as well with enclosed models. The lowest weight I have seen so far is about 225 pounds for a 4x8 redtrailers brand folder. Thoughts?

Hi, I have seen some people use a lite weight pop up camper frame (tent trailer) for hauling motorcycles.But eight hundred pounds might be too much for a lite weight frame.
home depot sells them, they are light.
and come in many sizes.
only better ones are aluminum and big $$

I do not advocate of shot gunning or guessing or working with out tools/meters/scopes
but I will help you the best I can! I can't see or hear/feel your motor, so consider my answers, in that light.
There are 2 diagnostic paths, one with tools and one without! Please advise which path you wish to take?
Wish we had home depot around here. They seem to have a lot of good stuff.

Do you have a Harbor Freight? You can also order on-line from them.

here is sweden when looking at registration papers, depending on what type of driving licence you have, we can pull a maximun of 1440 kgs, but on a normal driving licence it is a maximum of 1110 kgs with a maximum pressure on the tow ball of 65 kgs.

I bought "Convert" and I love it... thanks for the opportunity!
Maybe you were stating "Max allowed for a driver" but possibly not the car's rating?
If so, what about two drivers in the same car?
