get a trailer....the VX is a terrile candidate for flat towing (or just about any other kind as well) Joe beat me to it

The best thing to do is leave the VX at home, and get a used cheapo front-wheel drive super-lightweight econobox car (like a Ford Festiva, Kia, Hyundai, etc.). Put the front-wheel drive axle of the car on a single axle "Tow-Dolley" and roll-on down the highway.

Using a full-size car trailer is gonna' be a real PITA when it comes to backing, unloading, and reloading the vehicle, plus it eats up too much frickin' gas towing the entire ensemble. Leave the VX at home!!!

If you still don't believe me it's a royal PITA, then just ask member "Travelin2". He's been there, done that, and even got the T-Shirt. Again, check-out the above "link" in posting #2 by JAMAS.

Thanks for all the advise, I really want to take it due to its' many features..can't find a high, small, 4wd in Mexico; We take jungle trails, over streams etc. Does anyone know where I can locate a featherlight trailer (my tow hitch says 4,000lb; so I'm right up there from the start) I truly dislike the word can't and impossible, there must be a way,I wish>

That's the first hit when googling 'car trailers'. They are in Georgia but sell nationwide.

Unfortunately no Featherlites. They cost a bit more but you get a lot of that money back in fuel and maintenance savings, plus you can haul 40% more on an aluminum trailer than a comparable steel trailer. Not to mention Featherlites actually hold their value well which is generally a foreign concept with trailers.

ZIRALOVE--- Here is the information you requested. I see you live in Seattle, WA and the nearest FEATHERLITE Brand Trailer Dealership to you is in Snohomish, WA which is about 32 miles away to the North (according to MapQuest). You didn't specify if you wanted an "open" or "enclosed" trailer, so I listed both models for your convenience.

MODEL #4926 - "Enclosed" Car Aluminum Car Trailer
Available in 20' & 24' w/ramp.

Check-out the above mentioned website, and then go visit the dealership in person. Look-up the actual VX dimensions in the Owner's Manual, so you can determine which trailer is best suited for the VX. When you visit the dealership; leave your VX at home and drive your "tow vehicle" with trailer hitch to the dealership in case you decide to buy one on-the-spot, then you can take the empty trailer back home with you.

Bring your checkbook!!! FeatherLite Brand Aluminum Trailers are very, very expensive. They are absolutely the best trailer on the market and are the only trailers that maintain their resale value. They are worth every penny.

If you decide to buy a FeatherLite Trailer; be sure and lock-it to the truck and chain-it w/high security padlock & logging-chain to a permanent object whenever parked outside by itself, and with an additional hitch-lock on the trailer ball hitch. They are the #1 most favorite trailer sought after by trailer thieves. If you don't properly secure it, it WILL get stolen!!!
