Make sure the towing vehicle is at least as heavy as whatever you're towing. Otherwise the trailer will start to sway back and forth, potentially rolling you with it.

My current tow vehicle is my beater, a 88 GL with a bad head gasket. If that can tow the ~900lb load your vehicle (99 OBS) shouldnt have much problem with a light load. Just dont hook up a 4000lb double axel and put three cars on it.

Good to know, I am thinking of buying a dirt bike, would have to put it on a trailer and tow it to go riding. The legacy should have no problem with thatUI Vandal wrote:My current tow vehicle is my beater, a 88 GL with a bad head gasket.

Should be fine. I tow my three wheeler out to the hills or friends places for monkeying around. Your dirt bike should be fine.
