Trailer update.

On its first road test the little cargo trailer bounced all over the place due to a suspension that consists of 3 leafs. (one too many for what I'll be hauling)

Image

After removing one leaf from each side I took it for a 40 mile drive on secondary roads, highway and gravel and the improvement was dramatic! Very little bounce, very solid feel and easy to handle.

Image

For those interested, the trailer is a Harbor Freight 40x48 with 12" wheels, upgraded LED submersible tail lights and a Sears x-cargo 20 cu. ft box painted to moderately match the car. :)

I would say it definitely would, I don't think your allowed to tow anything that isnt. Certainly seems an ideal solution for Hatchy for those long trips hey!
