Greetings,
Try to get as big a tires on the trailer as possible. A lot of the really small trailers have tiny wheels. They are made for taking the mower over to Grandma's house across town. At highway speeds (and at 16 I'm sure you'll be hitting highway speeds) it will be less stable and have a tendency to burn out bearings. Remember that those little wheels have to turn a lot faster and a lot more times to keep up with your car wheels. So even if its a small trailer, try to get good sized wheels.

I'm getting a hitch installed on my car, a truck is not an option for me. A hitch installed will run between $200-300, that's what I priced around here. You should not have any problems pulling a small flat trailor and 1 atv.
Look in your local papers or look around when driving around. Trailors are usually all over.

Some cars (alot) are not made to have hitches and that's where the welding and cross bracing costs some duckets.

I've seen the little fold up trailers for $175 NEW around here. Check Wal-Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, K-Mart(?) Some assembly required, I think. I believe that you "finish" the bed with plywood. Check your local farm supply stores, like TSC(Tractor Supply Corp.)

I would think most any good hitch/trailer place could fix you up. Look in your yellow pages. Not sure of cost, I would guess $75-$110 for one installed. Just be sure NOT to overload hitch OR trailer! The hitch folks will be able to tell you if you can safely do what you want to do. GOOD LUCK

What about sellin the Sonata and buying a Toyota or Nissan truck?
Posted by: bobcatv8
It can be done but a small pickup would be the way to go. I tote 3 quads with my Ranger so 1 quad should be no sweat for your car. Sonata is not that small of a car. Make sure the hitch can handle the weight {400-425 for gassed up Z and equipment} plus trailer weight. DrRod is right about the wheel size and look into hooking up an auxillary trans cooler if you car is an automatic and you intend to haul distances or hilly terrain. I see people hauling things that maybe they shouldn't all the time, but as long as you cover all the basics you should be fine. Nothing stinks worse than tow rig problems when you're out for a day of fun. A little time and money spent now will pay off for you. Good Luck.

Most Rental places install hitches too....
Make sure to let them know what size trailer you will be getting, and how much total weight you will be towing.
Good Luck...
