    A lightweight trailer is the best choice (FeatherLite) without getting into seriously modding the VX driveline with such things as locking hubs and driveshaft disconnects. Towing any automatic transmission vehicle without disconnecting the driveline is asking for trouble with anything more than short distances at low speeds.

    The best thing to do is leave the VX at home, and get a used cheapo front-wheel drive super-lightweight econobox car (like a Ford Festiva, Kia, Hyundai, etc.). Put the front-wheel drive axle of the car on a single axle "Tow-Dolley" and roll-on down the highway.

    Using a full-size car trailer is gonna' be a real PITA when it comes to backing, unloading, and reloading the vehicle, plus it eats up too much frickin' gas towing the entire ensemble. Leave the VX at home!!!

    If you still don't believe me it's a royal PITA, then just ask member "Travelin2". He's been there, done that, and even got the T-Shirt. Again, check-out the above "link" in posting #2 by JAMAS.

    Thanks for all the advise, I really want to take it due to its' many features..can't find a high, small, 4wd in Mexico; We take jungle trails, over streams etc. Does anyone know where I can locate a featherlight trailer (my tow hitch says 4,000lb; so I'm right up there from the start) I truly dislike the word can't and impossible, there must be a way,I wish>
