...provided you can safely load the stuff internally in the first place. A thousand pounds is generally a pickup load, depending on bulk, and I would not recommend loading it *inside* the average economy car at all, though the same car can probably safely pull way more than that in a trailer.
While it's a great thing, trying to drive as efficiently as possible, I'll still keep safety higher on the list.

By the way, trailers don't handle badly at all when properly loaded. The person who believes otherwise could probably use some instruction in that regard.
