Default Re: Crossfire Trailer Hitch?

I gave up on putting a trailer on the Crossfire, and I just securred a Chrysler Town and Country (and a hitch), I can rent a triler from U-Haul for $60 / day. So that I can put the Crossfire on a trailer. This will allow me to bring more than just 2 people. This will also have the added effect of keeping the mileage down on the Crossfire.

But I have some questions...Before I can rent a trailer, the hitch needs to be inspected for loading. The van has a 5500lb towing Cap, and I am getting a 5000lb hitch with a 3000lb ball weight cap. This is what I calculated will tow the crossfire (and the trailer). I know that this hitch (pictured above) was designed for towing a small trailer with spare rubber and tools for the purposes of going to the track, but have you calculated the towing capacity of the crossfire, the hitch and the ball? and if so, can you please post that info.

The hitch looks good, any pics with the trailer, and how well did it work?
