[Healeys] Trailer advice

In addition to the comments below, it might also depend upon what kind of terrain you plan to do most of your hauling in. Will you be hauling in mostly flat land or will you be in mostly hilly or even mountainous terrain? I would suspect that hilly & mountainous terrain might be hard on the turbocharger.Gary Hodson

I think it depends on your definition of a "typical car hauler trailer".  Assuming you mean an open trailer, is it single axle or dual axle. Steel or aluminum. The question is - what does it weigh and what does your Subaru weigh? Then add 2100 lbs for your BN2.  Check your owners manual for your Subaru's towing limitations.  It's not just about having enough power to tow a trailer ...... you also have to stop it.  There's an old saying about trailers -"You don't want the tail to be wagging the dog".
