One more issue to consider -- do you have space to store the trailer? In my neighborhood we're not allowed to leave trailers outside overnight. That means I pay a couple hundred bucks a month for storage of my RV trailer. This would be a significant enough barrier that would make me forget the charger/trailer route. YMMV.

No special licence needed for landscape type trailer. I was going to park of in the grass ...

Another thing to consider; I haven't personally been in the drivers seat of a Charger, but what is rear visibility like? I can't imagine it is very good, especially right behind the vehicle. Pulling small utility trailers sucks bad enough when you have good visibility of it. I know the late-90's Camaros, you couldn't see the pavement any closer than about 60' behind you; a trailer would completely disappear in that.

I am in a similar situation. My two vehicles are a Heavy Duty 6 liter longbed that sucks down 39 gallons with each pull at the pump, and a 750cc motorpony that gives me 50mpg in a head wind. I only drive the truck when I need to and have given some serious thought into trading it out but it never fails that something comes up that could not have been resolved easily without having that fecking truck. Most recent was the wifes car. Timing belt adjuster tanked. Found a guy out of town that replaced it for pennies (comparitavely) but had to tow the car 40 miles. Would have still been cheaper to hire a tow truck to haul it rather than going to a local shop but having that truck saved a ton by just renting a trailer.

Monies I dumped into performance mods on the bike.

Fingers crossed the mpg hasn't taken a dump.

Great point. I guess I've always assumed there wouldnt be an issue. When I worked for my father we pulled trailers no smaller than 16 foot.....the rear window is now very tall visibly wise....a small trailer would be furking tough to back up straight.

I think I'm gonna waive the flag on this....A lot of great insight! Thanks for all the information!
