Good Trailers that weigh 3500 lbs or less.
Our brother-in-law is looking to buy a trailer he can pull with his Ford Edge. Ford says the Edge has a towing capacity of 3500 lbs. We're wondering if anyone can recommend a brand/model of a trailer ...

So-called towing capacity is less important than payload. That is the difference between what the vehicle actually weighs (with people, full fuel, hitch components and junk) and the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) on the door sticker. Forget "dry" weights on trailers and go with the GVWR for the trailer. Typical tow-behind travel trailers will put about 12% - 13% of their gross weight on the tongue.
