That's because no one wants to be behind you ... I try very hard not to be behind a trailer because the rocks that get kicked up from the trailer ALWAYS hit my car. Yes it's better if the trailer is not empty because it doesn't bounce around as much but it still happens.

Also I never want to be behind a pickup truck either ... they pick up rocks and literally throw them at my car. Is there someone hidden in the pick up bed with a stash of rocks doing this

I just took a bit of a road trip in my daughters A4 and the trailers kicked up quite a bit of road debris ...

BTW great car for a road trip
