I like trailers very much, but only because I rarely need to use them. It allows my vehicle to stay relatively tiny (and efficient) most of the time without the added expense/maintenance of a large vehicle that would be underutilized.

For the few times that I need to move a washer/dryer, or a couple motorcycles, or landscaping, it is awesome, and easy to load.

The handling/safety question is irrelevant IMHO, all vehicles are different and it is the drivers job to operate it safely in any configuration. We can't all drive Porsches.
