I have a 2016 honda civic. It’s my only car. Has any one towed their glider and trailer using a small sedan like a civic? It isn't clear what kind of trailer you will be towing. It can vary from no big deal to don't do it. A couple suggestions that will help: 1- Use the hitch with the shortest overhang you can get. Distance from the rear axle to the hitch pivot point has a meaningful affect on stability. 2- Inflate tires to the highest level allowed. Stiffer helps stability. 3- Reduce the crap you take to keep trailer lighter and do not over load the front. Tongue weight affects car balance adversely. 4 Put heavy stuff, as much as possible, in the car between the axles. Batteries, chargers, tool box, etc. 5. Keep the speed down and look was ahead. The biggest problem for stability is down hill, off throttle, getting passed by a truck. Good luck |
