I appreciate you taking the time to share this. i was considering trailer for move and instead put rooftop carrier on top of corolla. the corolla was packed to the roof and with the roof 10cu feet storage I was easily exceeding weight limit. The car made it. The engine and tranny were fine. The tranny shifted a bit clunky when I fell asleep on auto pilot. I held my breath on all bumps! no clearance left from tires to top of wheel welds.

Wish I thought of putting up a video back in March of 2018 when I moved from Florida to Connecticut. Yes my 2016 Corolla pulled a 5x8 uhaul. I did as much research as I could before getting the hike mount installed. I also had my car full and 2 of my cats riding with me. I could not find any KZitem videos. It was a rough ride though. Would not do it again. But made it to CT after 39 hours of driving. Definitely had to stop every 150 miles to get gas bc of the weight!!!

You can tow up to 3000 lbs in most states without trailer brakes. The tongue weight needs to be 10%, which the Camry can handle just fine. The limits in the owners manual are just super conservative recommendations. Just ignore it. The Camry can also tow the larger braked 6x12 trailer. Make sure you have at least a Class III hitch. Take it easy on hills. Run the heater on full blast if the engine temperature gets too warm.
