It will pull it around no problem. You have to keep in mind what kind of ramp you will be launching off of. You might get it in and not be able to get it out.

Also, you have to find a tow hitch. I am not sure there is one. I recall another forum member just trying to find a receiver for a bike rack and had no luck.

You will be able to, yes. I believe upto 1500kg braked. There is a tow bar, it is rather expensive however.

You would also also want the car coded to recognise the trailer being hitched.

OK, Well, that thread was 4 years ago. I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

As for etrailer, I highly recommend them. We wanted a hitch on my wife's new Cadillac XT5 and they had the best price. Shipping was fast and the fit and instructions were perfect.
