My 5x8 trailer is bigger than a pickup bed, and at a much nicer height. What's more fun than getting over 30 mpg with an LGT? Hauling a yard and a half of dirt with it and shoveling it out without any climbing!

I'd be leery of mounting something off the back of it, though. The camper people have looked at doing hitch mounted bike racks off the back of their smaller campers and frown on it- the rear bumper of a small trailer gets tossed around a lot more than the rear bumper of the tow vehicle, so the weight hanging off the back gets whipped around even more. A tongue mount for the caddy is a better move. Slapping another trailer behind it would be awesome, though!
