when I first moved to NZ 15 yeasrs ago, I was surprised at how many people owned trailers, and how inexpensive and handy they were. One day while sitting along the side of the road on the way into town I started counting vehicles with and without trailer hitches, it was about even( not scientific and don't hold me to it but I lasted at least 1/2 an hour) and on every conceivable type of car, most people use them for light work like going to the dump or green waste. I find it particularly handy to pick up garden stuff like bags of horse **** an easy hose down if you scratch the bottom no one cares. By the way I like my trailer to look pretty, nothing looks better then a trailer with mag wheels!!!!espescially if they match the tow vehicle...
