I tow a 2500 lb RX-7 on an old steel trailer. I have towed from Florida to Indy and back over a weekend for a Rotary event.

I tow to the track and to Autocrosses and never have a problem. Braking is good too. I upgraded my fronts on the truck to Powerslots and Hawk pads. The trialer has brakes too and I agree with everyone here it is a must.

My Dodge with its little 4.7 liter and the trailer track really well, on the trip to Indy I was traveling at 75-80 MPH and got 12 MPG.

Its all going to boil down to what you want factoring in your only towing 5 times a year. ( I am about the same)
