Subject: Re: Towing kayaks with a 9000


I have no problem backing a trailer. 1. I can leave the kayaks and gear on the trailer at the house and just hookup and go.. 2. I don't damage the finish of my car by loading the rack or taking the rack off and on 3. I don't have the wind noise from the rack with the sunroof open 4. The car handles better on long rides without the extra weight up high raising the center of gravity 4. I have a hitch mount bike rack that holds 4 bikes for when I'm not towing.. 5. I can use the little trailer for other odd errands (light but bulky loads) I certainly don't advocate towing a trvel trialer or 6 yards of gravel. Some of my friends prefer the rack...
