As long as it's not a motor bike you can do it. The track guys haul wheels/tires all the time with a trailer. I tow 8 wheels with mine. I completed a 16 hour round trip with mine a few weeks ago and not a problem.

Search around in the motorsports section, there's a guy on the board who can make them for you.

Maybe with a TRE tranny and oil cooler? It would be nice if the evo were more versatile...

Well.. I guess if you're going to do it, I would take it to U-Haul and just have them look at it. They have to hook tow **** up to so many different types of vehicles they would know what to look for. Then you can go find it and take it to a shop and have them do it.

I found the trailer hitch guy buried in my PM's. Search for "hitch" by the member 'rallytrack'.

Have to agree small tire trailer for auto-x would be better than trying to juggle them in the back seat.

Love that video
