I had posted this before and was told that the Sylvan Sport was too heavy for the Fortwo to pull. I found the Sylvan Sport Go. Here is the .pdf on it. Here are the specs for the Go as a downloadable zip file.
"Weighing in at 800 lbs, the GO can be pulled by even the smallest cars." Even one as small as the Fortwo? (copied from the site).
"
Q: Can I tow it with a small car?
You sure can. The GO trailer weight (unloaded) is only 800 lbs, so you can easily pull it with a small vehicle or even a hybrid."
From the FAQ part of the site. How much would it weigh with some items in it?

Hey all, we got a Curtis hitch (Class 1) and pull a motorcycle trailer. I still get 39-40 mpg!

I used my Goldwing trailer on a recent trip to New Mexico. Carried all the extra stuff, clothes, cooler, and lots of gear
