Got any pics of those loads?

I pulled my trailer again this past weekend. We had 4 adults and 3 small dogs in the car, and a whole living room full of furniture in my 4x8 trailer (a 500-600 lb payload). My sister was one of the passengers and was all "are you sure your car can handle this?". She had no idea what our little Yari could do!

Nice, My trailer is quite big and people keep asking me for help when moving and I'm always there for help, two row of furnitures mattress in the middle, I ask friends to put clothes in garbage bags and I stuff it between the furnitures so they won't scratch each other. I moved at least 5 times with this trailer and I moved about 20 friends the last 10 years. As you said this is no biggie for the Yaris.

On a side note if I was building cars, I would rate the car way less than it can handle to avoid lawsuits, at some point one will manage to launch one downhill, of course loaded by an idiot and driven by an idiot, then they will all turn to the builder and ask why can't we recover from a 360° with a trailer or why the brakes can't bring a 1200 lbs trailer from 140 km/h to 0 downhill without setting brakes on fire ??
That little video with the camper is right on, hey can't climb a hill, let's get a good swing !!
