Trailer - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yellfever11 · 05-02-2016, 07:37 PM

Anyone in here ever tow a PA with their 4 cylinder car? I'm thinking of getting a trailer for my mini cooper (S). Eye balling one from tractor supply. Also will convert that trailer to be able to haul 1-4 yaks. Uhaul said it wouldn't be any problem and that the mini can tow up to 2000 lbs?

* I do have F-250 long bed too... but might be easier to tow it with the mini... parking, gas and etc..

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Mike

Never towed my PA, but my 4 cylinder tows my 14' skiff with no problem.

I bought a used jetski trailer that needed minor tweaks for the PA. Craigslist, boat section search on keyword "trailer"

I just bought this one:

Hauling 4 kayaks to the lakes and going camping to have fun with the family. Much easier on the back https://www.trailex.com/SUT-350-M2.cfm

Should be fine, get a jet ski trailer, very light.

Just found out they don't make the hitch for 2002 mini cooper s.
