I've been pulling a cargo trailer (21 cu ft) for for 5 years now behind a Ultra. Whenever I take off on a trip I weigh it on 2 batrhroom scales at the wheels and a 50 lb fish scale on tounge. I never go over 25 lbs tounge load. More than that eats the tire 4 times as fast as without trailer (my experience). Get a swivel hitch too. My father cut an entrance tight going for gas and hit the curb with the trailer tire and it slapped his Wing down. Sprung the trailer tounge. I run a torsional axle and 14" low profile car tires for a smooth floating trailer. Mine is one of the coolest trailers I have seen, but made my ass hurt when I paid for it. (
