Welcome to the forums.

I think the rene will have no problems pulling the honda around.

The honda would probably pull it, but at what cost? A clutch, a tranny and then getting it to stop suddenly is a another problem.

You're doing the right thing by not using it.

I would look for at least a small truck to pull it. A Nissan Frontier, Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger. The suspension on a truck is made to carry some weight. Cars not so much.

I wouldn't try it! Well... Nah...

Like they said, you would be throwing money at the setup.... Your car's not built to pull a trailer with a big ole (nice btw...) quad.

I couldn't imagine going up a hill or stopping at the bottom of one.
