Default silly question about TOWING w/ integra

Well I am preparing to drive the Integra from AZ to NY. I have several spare parts and race wheels I want to take with me, and while I could probably fit all of them in the car, I think If I towed one of those little uhaul trailers with me I could fit it all....say something like this 4x6 uhaul trailer...

http://w_w_w.uhaul.com/guide/i...r-4x6


so has ANYONE towed anything of this size with there integra?

Is this a foolish mission and should I just forget it, crate it all and send it out bulk?


Car is a GSR w/ TYPE R swap so I do have a bit more torque (5lbs

thanks

I think you'll be fine. Just watch the tongue weight, i don't remember what it is but it should be in your manual.

And i plan on doin this as well to carry track wheels and other misc. stuff.





Edit - just be a little careful on some of the roads you choose to drive on. Try to avoid steep slopes. Get some good brake fluid and maybe a set of pads.

be careful not to go fast around turns... even wide turns. cause if that load somehow looses traction IT WILL MAKE YOU SPIN OUT.

but as long as you drive slow and carefully you can do it no problem.

Why? Because people actually use the car.

That is crazy, I wouldn't use my car to tow something that big. The first R looks real nice.
