Buy? No thanks I don’t even have a good place to store it, never mind maintenance.

But I’d rent it.

Only wrinkle: backing up. I’ve owned/used trailers many times so I have no problem with backing up, but many would. Can’t think of a way around this that would be even “almost” idiot proof.

Could use a trailer that stays directly behind the car. Like instead of just a ball hitch, have several mount points on the rear of the car, then it won't swing freely. Maybe rig it to only use one wheel when the vehicle turns (otherwise I think it would cause a bit of understeer).

Though people do learn how to use trailers. Some truck drivers even know the black magic of backing up with multiple trailers.
