I routinely pull a light 8' trailer with my motorcycle on it up through Arkansas & Texas hill country. See avatar. Went from DFW to Birmingham AL (Barber) & back this year with 2 bikes, 2 people and all the gear, probably about 1000# on trailer & another 200# in VX. Drove through a BIG thunderstorm on I-20 and the VX pulled like a champ. I am just careful not to push it too hard. I am seriously debating a small 12' toy hauler, only 2300#, made for V6 SUVs. Hmmmm....
