Gahhh I lost the photo, but I was behind a Cavalier loaded with a stack of pallets in the trunk, then another stack about 6' tall on the roof.

Not sure my Echo could handle much of a trailer, though it has a Class I hitch. As the car was bought new, he must have put it on there, but I have no idea what it was actually used for.

I say Cafe standards brought about the modern pickup/SUV craze. We'd be better off with a quarter million oversize V8 cars being sold every year than trucks. 90% of suburban pickup or SUV drivers would be as well served by a body on frame wagon or car in terms of actual duty, and would see benefits in both handling and FE. And no drop in safety...


Bowlus trailers were friggin awesome! If my Airstream coffee table book is to be believed, it had a lot of influence not just on Airstreams, but on aerodynamics in general. Plus they plain looked cool.
