New trailer!
I hope my X can handle my new trailer! They are a 98 Arctic Cat ZL 500 and a 97 Ski Doo Touring . Now I just need snow.

Your Lynx only had a 1.6 gasser with tall gearing. When we had four people in the car it was hard to hold fourth on most hills. My old 2.2 Perkins was good for towing 3500 lbs (although slow) and my little 1.9 TDI is comfortable with 2000 lbs.
If you're serious about down sizing or having a smaller vehicle pull your sleds, the small gasoline V6's of today, EcoDiesel or mini Duromax would be good choices.
I am a believer in using the right tool for the job!! Lol, I was only spoofing with Marty, comparing my 81 hp (World Car) Lynx, to Barney's Harley, with a similar Hp, but the Harley likely had more torque.
I really did try pulling that little snow trailer with the Lynx. It would barely tow the trailer empty. Yes, mostly due to the tall gearing. Sled trailer now is a 7x23 V-nose, with 3800 lbs CCC. Yes, it takes a stout truck.
