Here are 2 options I found for trailer wiring: One of them has an install video and I would assume that the video should help with either wiring kit.
I ordered that e trailer harness. They just emailed me ~10 days later to say some parts are OOS and won't be in until January 2023. Any other suggestions on a wiring kit or vendors?

Ended up searching the part number and found this on Amazon as well. Ended up ordering this plus the batter cable and 4/7pin trailer hitch hook up.
I already have the hitch installed and went with a torklift 2" receiver.
There is no trailer tongue height standard. Bigger trailers are generally higher. My stock spring JSW uses a 6" rise with a 6x12 utility box trailer and a straight rise for the little flat bed utility trailer.
Those are my thoughts as well. I feel like at 5 ft wide trailer is fine for me and probably a little bit easier to maneuver. However I called my local trailer dealer and the 5x10 that they had is now sold so if I want one now it's the 6x10. I could also wait, I don't have an immediate need but would like to get rolling in start taking care of some dump runs and other stuff that I've been putting off for a while.
It does depend a bit on what you're doing. I've had/pulled many trailers 4x8, 4x6 enclosed, 8x8, and 6.5x10 and unless you have something that requires the larger trailer, I'd go with a 5x10. The 4' trailers track width is almost exactly the same as a MKIV so that is nice, but they're just too exactly 4' for hauling standard 4x8 material (paneling, drywall, pallets, etc). A 5x10 will allow you to comfortably haul standard building materials, but not be so wide to be a hassle. My 6.5x10 is great for a 72" mower, but otherwise a bit big/cumbersome to drag around all the time and more aero drag compared to something that slips behind the car.
I second this..I have a 5x10 and it is a nice size. It'll fit a lawnmower and tracks nice behind my passat.
I got one similar but tires are 12 inch so I believe you can do highway speeds . Can't remember if it's 5x8 or 4x8 but it folds up nicely in my garage when I take the sides off. It's the 2000 lb one so payload is about 1750 lbs max. Unloaded it bounces pretty good on our garbage roads but loaded it tows very well.
I picked up another trailer... $70 for a harbor freight 4x8 isn't too bad... needed wheels and a hitch coupler, as well as the bed, but its a good start...
Ever notice Modern trailers have the wheels set much further back than older models.? I suppose it's a manufacturer CYA issue to make sure you have max tongue weight?This was So heavy it nearly got stuck in the ground. It didn’t go far. Bilstein hds held up and cleared some rough terrain without bottoming. It was heavy fill. I wouldn’t want to pull more than 1600 with this car.
I have 5x8 with lights on fenders I can see in mirrors
That's an 'inside the car' loadI hauled home a new used engine for the wife's subaru wagon the other day on very slick roads. Hardly tell it was back there. Approximately 100 miles one way. Sure is fun to see someone getting pissed off when they try to beat that little car with a trailer away from the stop light
Sorry, to cold for pictures.
. I could use one so bad!
