That MGB trailer represents the best use for those piles of compressed rust known as British sports cars.
That blue trailer with the pillows and the netting- looks great for those under 4' tall.

Yesterday I saw a '06-'11 Civic towing a small open trailer.

the good:
he's wearing a helmet, shoes/black socks.
the bad:
passenger/trailer hitch is inside the bungie hold-down cords, no helmet on passenger but there is a spare hanging on the scooter, see a Canadian flag, smile is too genuine.

Today I went at the BRP dealer in my hometown, and got quite disappointed to know that the Can-Am Spyder can't legally tow a trailer back here, altough even an entry-level 125cc can do so

I have this exact trailer for 6 years with no problems. I pull my 06 warrior with ease. I tow it with my S-10 but wouldn't try it with my Prius C. (edit) i'm sorry i have the 1740# trailer. Looks the same.

These are a 2nd-generation Volkswagen Gol and a 2nd-generation Volkswagen Parati, basically the same old Fox with a different body. Altough it was supposed to have an all-new platform when they were introduced in '94, it's basically the same old BX platform, itself a simplified version of the B1 platform used in the Dasher...
Oh, how could I forget this liquid-cooled '06-'13 Kombi with a trailer?

My take-
I do a lot of various hauling (property management and repair, you would not believe how many tube tvs ive had to get rid of as an example).
I started out with a truck, but trucks are specific use ,and like said early in the thread, while good for some things, come up short in others. After going through a lot of different pickups small and large, i started switching over to vans, which has more versatility as far as load and security and much more efficient load space layout, but then i lost the high load capability.
Thats when i bought a small trailer to handle things like an upright fridge, and so on. However, sometimes that trailer was too small, i was eating through tires and replacing bearigs a lot, and when you are not using it, it needs to be stashed as its easily stolen.
My advice is find out where the closest uhaul is. I on average rent a trailer for 10 to 20 bucks once a month for single use applications. I choose trailer size and type for each application, open or closed. Uhaul maintains them, and i have not found a single private owned trailer that comes close to the HD way uhaul trailers are constructed, they are incredibly durable.
This way i dont have to worry about maintenance, registration, storage, or not having just the right trailer for the job. All i have to worry about is availability, which i havent had much of a problem with on the smaller trailers.
If you are near a uhaul, i say dont even bother buying a trailer, renting is easier
