What size cargo trailer?

I'm looking at buying a cargo trailer for work. Any ideas if an 8-10 foot trailer would be alright to tow behind my van (L300)? This would be for city use only so no highway driving with a full trailer.

As long as the trailer has brakes Nick or there will be no stopping you.

I'll look into that more! Maybe the dual piston upgrade as well.

If you're going to be hauling loads in something that size, I would definitely look for a trailer with brakes and install a brake assist into your van. I wouldn't try climbing the Coq' with it, but you should be fine around town.

What is a brake assist? (sorry if that's a stupid question)

That makes sense, I don't see how you could have a trailer with brakes and not have brake assist then. (unless they just lock up every time you press the pedal)

Here are the statistic. I'm thinking of going for the 6x12 or 6x14. Thoughts?
