Can a Mazda 3 pull a light utility trailer?
I'm tired of renting a truck to occasionally move furniture or lumber
and other items that are too big to fit in my car.
I don't want to buy a truck that I'd only use once every month or so.
I'd like to buy a small utility trailer and get a hidden hitch for my
Mazda 3. But would this shorten the life of the car?
Again I wouldn't be hauling a ton of bricks or anything. A couple
pieces of furniture or a few sheets of plywood or drywall from the
hardware store once a month or so.
Any thoughts?
Here are some of the specs on the car.
