4x8 trailer, less than 1000 lbs for it loaded I'd assume. You should be just fine. Especially since it's all freeway, once you're moving there's not much stress.

Everytime I go from Brownsville, Texas to NYC it takes me 28 hours total 2,100 miles doing 75-85 all the way through. No stops, just gas and food.

Re: road trip anyone? (charlieway)
well we made the trip no problem,the civic was great it towed the 4x8 trailor just finr we couldent get over 75 unless we were on a hill but no big deal we were just enjoying the drive anyway.now the bad news we got our apt and 3 days after moving in the car is stolen,we just got it back and we are missing intake,rims,stereo and speakers. they didnt take the msd ignition,header,front and rear sway bars or exhaust and muffler which is a good thing.but if any of you hear of 18inch g-racing rims with 3 toyo proxie tires and 1 with a yokohama parada tire for sale please let me know.thanks guys.
