Through an unintelligent trial and error learning experience, I learned the tongue weight limit on my (Class I) trailer hitch- less than four bikes on a carrier over a big bump! It now tilts down by about ten to fifteen degrees, but the frame itself is not bent, only the hitch receiver.
My car is a 2007 Subaru Impreza, manual. (It's pretty new, I know..) and I am wondering, can I still pull a trailer locally? Should I get out a mallet and start putting it back to level, replace the hitch, or just keep using it as is? We just bought a fixer upper house and I was looking into buying a cheap trailer for all of the hauling we are about to start doing, or at the very least we need to pull a uhaul trailer a significant number of times.
