I believe Im correct. It is a heavy duty single axle, no doubt, but a single axle is NOT recommended for towing vehicles. I'd DEFINITELY recommend going with this option, however:

Tandem or Two-axle Aluminum Utility Trailer

Not only is it within your weight limit still, but you get electric brakes and a breakaway kit. FAR safer to tow with. Heavier than your other option, but a far more effective towing solution, especially when going downhill

Definitely a better choice. Thanks.

Unless you're just doing low-speed, around-town kinds of towing, a single-axle should be avoided in general. Double-axle trailers

- can carry more
- are more stable at all speeds
- give you an extra chance at making it to your destination if you have a blow-out

Towing a car on a single-axle is really asking for trouble.
