you'll be pushing the limits of that motor/drivetrain. In general if you go easy on her... u'll be fine.

try to argue with that. you could pull a house with that provided the weight capacity of the hitch could handle it, provided you wouldnt go very fast

Eh... I guess I'm no uhaul tech. But since you are, do you think the extra load on his auto trans (stock) is ok? My bro just recently put a lil hitch on his GSR and all is going well with him. I was a bit concerned for his clutch though. I mean... you can tell how much extra a car, particularly a torqueless honda, has to work going up a hill. You don't think it will create enough load problems where it will add lots of premature wear on the transmission components?

anyways like i said pulling small trailer loads like less than 2000 lbs since that's the highest rated hitch avail would be fine.
for those customers that tow a trailer a lot we recommend a tranmission cooler to extend the life of the transmission.
i have yet to see a small car owner that tows a trailer more than once or twice a month.
if you are goin to be pullin a load all the time you should buy a truck for that.
