I've had great luck with reliability and durability with Wells Cargo and Hallmark brand trailers. Are you looking to haul with the bonnie?

You could probably tow with the bonnie up to 2000 lbs, I know of a 2000 SSEi that towed a 4000 trailer cross country, but I wouldn't EVER suggest that.

you'll be good, just take it easy and remember that you have a trailer. Longer stoping distances and wider turns

trailering is nothing new to me. i've been pulling boats every year from 16 on! just never thought i'd be pulling anyhting with a car... to me thats what a truck is for, but if its small enough i supose why not... i guess.
same here. Between the cargo trailer, travel trailer and boat.... nothing new for me Does that mean you have a truck that you can tow with instead?

Weel, with all the junkyard runs made around here, and if you have access to a welder, I'd say go custom. Get an axle, some angle iron, and have fun....
