search the archive for "trailer hitch" and look for my weekend project post.
I pull a 5x8 motorcycle trailer ($525), and have a drawtite hitch ($180, wiring parts, drawbar, shipping, etc). The hitch bolted right on. I pulled my Honda HawkGT to Indianapolis last month for a track day, with a trunk full of tools, leathers, gas and other gear. No Problem. I cruised at 75-80 the whole way, and busted back up through Chicago without slowing down. The car didn't seem to mind. Mileage dropped on the freeway from my usual 27-28 down to about 22-23, and the boost guage ran just a little higher than normal at cruising speed.
I've got a 5 speed manual, and no trailer brakes. Just give yourself some extra stopping room. I'm not sure how an auto would do, if that's what you have.
good luck.
