Would there be a problem pulling the smallest utility trailer uhaul has with an S60R? With like 800 lbs in the trailer?

Hey there JC.. MDK.. no that shouldn't be a problem. I think you're tounge weight is 3500 lbs limit.. at least that's what it is for P2 wagons.. check your owners manual if you have one.. and you have to have trailer lights..
