Locked rear ends and towing trailers
My rear end has an auto locker and I plan on towing my gf's dad's company trailer. I want to know if I will have problems towing a single axle trailer that carry's a very light load. thanks

You're actually better off with the locker. It's stronger plus it spreads the load around - less strain on things. All tow rigs should have a rear traction aid.

You got an auto, you will be fine. A manual would exagurate the "locker steer" that can occur with an automatic locker, an auto hides it pretty well. You shouldnt have any problems.
