trailer suggestions to move spyder

[Paingod]

As someone who was once in the trailer business, I wouldn't recommend anyone pull a trailer with either a PT or HHR. and if you do I would not exceed the rating of the car, in fact I always recommend staying at about 80% of the rating. One, most people underestimate the weight of their trailer and load. Two, I personally think the ratings are a lot of the time high. I have a Chevy Colorado rated at 5500 pound, I tried pulling about 4000 pound trailer, brakes on the trailer, with a brake controller in the truck. It would pull it but the truck was working hard. On my Chevy HD, it is rated at 12,500 pound and I try to stay under 10,000 pound. My 30ft toy hauler with 2 motorcycles in it is between 9500 and 10000 pounds, depending on which bikes I have in it. Boss Hoss's are heavier than Runes or V-rods. It pulls this load better and easier than the Colorado pulls the 4000 pound load. Long story short if you are going to tow, get a proper tow vehicle, Truck or SUV. Your Safety depends on it.

I think you made the right decision. A vehicle has to fit its intended use. What's the sense in getting great mialeage if you can't use it to drive (or tow) where you want to go. Sort of like owning a convertible in the middle of a rainforest.

Rocket Double Motorcycle trailer for SPYDEr

The Rocket Double Motorcycle all aluminum trailer with aluminum mags with 6 ply radials and torsion ride handles like a dream with the Spyder,with room to spare. The deck ia aluminum plate 6ftx9ft with a ramp that gives plenty of clearance for the front end of the Spyder. Trailer weight is 450lbs with capacity for about 1800 lbs, sell for about $3200 with alum spare and mounting bracket. The only way you know its behind you is to look in your rear view mirror.​

Make sure your vehicle has a class III hitch. That's the one with the 2" square (roughly) receiver.
