Yet another trailer - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

During lots of searches I found this one no one here seems to have found. All plastic body, rotational molded I'm guessing. Just need to get smart colors. weighs 365 lbs. http://www.pulmor.com/

Here's some more info that shows the sales web site and yet another trailer. Not smartable I'm afraid, but I do hear folks towing 1000 lbs with theirs in europe. http://www.bestbuydealer.com/YUPPIE/...E%20MODELS.htm Any way folks with smarts own other vehicles too.
FLASH!! Found the source for yet another cool and lightweight trailer. It is sold through one of the smart accessory dealers, but here is the makers site http://www.pod-ium.com/motorcycle-luggage-trailer.html check out all of the other stuff they have. Nothing like going to the source to maybe save a few bucks too.

Looks like smart colors to me!

That yellow convertible on the photos page made my smart just a little bit jealous though. - sheureka

Hadn't been to their site in a while. Evidently an email I sent about availability of other colors got someones attention. My smart is silver/blue. Need to ask them if they can make that color.

It looks really nice. It would be neat to get it to match ones little car.

OHH I like that trailer!

I wonder how level that will sit behind the Smart? Looks like it is a bit tall. sits even behind a Durango. 365 dry is getting up there in weight too....in my humble opinion. While I have heard it rumored before of 1000lbs for a towing weight the Smart is capable of. I'd think a trailer that size people are going to be putting stuff heavier than packing peanuts in there. Just guessing, they'd easily stuff it up to 800lbs after the kitchen sink is installed. (I'll admit I've towed around 700lbs with my Smart for a few miles and found it to be quite capable)

The smaller the better is most likely better for the Smart. Awesome design, too bad they don't make one sized to go behind a motorcycle. That Little Tikes plastic tub behind a Smart would be PERFECT! One sized smaller....around 150lbs, AWESOME!!!!

That's the best looking trailer of them all. But, like BBB, I would be concerned with weight.

We weigh everything we load on, or in our little trailer, as we did with our airplanes. It's amazing how the weight mounts up. Examples: two camp chairs 20lbs, table 16lbs alone. rug 6lbs dry,and so on.

I couldn't find the specs on the suspension, anything other than torsion bar may be too rough for our little cars. Anyone find a price? A2Jack.

OH! Well then nevermind. I'll stick with the DIY Harbor Freight trailer + Thule Rooftop cargo box idea.

I don't know anything about suspension. The little trailer I just bought for my wheelchair has "900 lb. "Dexter" rubber ride torflex suspension with E-Z lube spindles." Is that good enough? I also can't figure out why that would weigh 365 pounds. The one I bought is all metal and weighs 285 pounds.
