"No problem, unless there's a problem". Please let us know your route so I can keep my family and myself away. About 4 years ago I went against the advice of many who are now posting and towed a Honda Accord on a car trailer behind a 2000 Dodge Dakota from Sandpoint, Idaho to Montpelier, Idaho. No problem....until the trip back. With the trailer empty, the right rear tire on the Dakota blew out, I couldn't slow the trailer due to lack of control of the Dakota, and the trailer pushed the Dakota into a jackknife and we went off the shoulder and down an 8' drop, rolled 1 1/2 times, totalling the Dakota, trailer still attached. I had my wife with me. Neither of us were hurt, but if the trailer had pushed us the other way, we would have gone into oncoming traffic and then, who knows what would have happened? Think about the possibilities. JH
