Trailer

Anyone in here ever tow a PA with their 4 cylinder car? I'm thinking of getting a trailer for my mini cooper (S). Eye balling one from tractor supply. Also will convert that trailer to be able to haul 1-4 yaks. Uhaul said it wouldn't be any problem and that the mini can tow up to 2000 lbs?

* I do have F-250 long bed too... but might be easier to tow it with the mini... parking, gas and etc..

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Mike

I bought a used jetski trailer that needed minor tweaks for the PA. Craigslist, boat section search on keyword "trailer"

I just bought this one:

Hauling 4 kayaks to the lakes and going camping to have fun with the family. Much easier on the back https://www.trailex.com/SUT-350-M2.cfm
