I'm towing my Schreder trailer with a 2004 Prius with 277k miles on it. MPG drops to 28-29, but it tows fine. The Schreder is much lighter than the wood/fiberglass box I was pulling.

The plan is to add electric or surge brakes soon. Plus, it probably will feel a little different when I actually put my glider in it. ;-) (Soon...very soon...still working on fittings.)

Electric brakes good.

Surge brakes bad.
Again?
The term "********" comes to mind.

Actually neither of those.
The definition should include "Rubbish".

I think the intended word/phrase should have been "bollix up". As defined below:

Merriam Webster defines bollix as "to throw into disorder; also : bungle"

Jim is right about common British usage of the word, which is spelt
'********'. It is a universal word, usually used in male company, that
can mean a lot of things, all of them signalling disappointment or worse.
For example "******** to that!" means "That's a stupid idea", "Oh
********", said in a disappointed tone, that something unexpectedly went
wrong and just plain "********!" is the same as a heartfelt "Dammit!" or
"Bugger!".

I kinda liked it when the British girl asked me to knock her up in the
morning.

Here's a very good visual description of "Bugger".
