I totally agree, we see where normal carts hit the entrance walls inside tunnels , I can’t imagine that much weight and trying to slow down with regular golf cart brakes. Plus if traveling and trailer has one heavier person on one side and the driver has to make a quick maneuver back and forth turn to avoid something, the resulting fishtail could be another issue by flipping or the trailer fishtailing into an oncoming cart. Renting is smarter plus there is the storage of it.
