What size, weight, and tongue weight will you be running on your trailer? Do you already have the trailer, and if so, have you actually measured the tongue (hitch) weight?

Maybe another consideration would be to buy out your lease, and then turn around and sell it or even trade it in. I would assume the residual value was based on pricing from several years ago, so it...

I love this feature on hot days, but HATE how short the range is. The fob will let you unlock the car form a significant distance, but at least for me, this feature only works when I'm really close...
