Exact reason why I really want to put a hitch receiver on my lil BMW z3. Half because it makes it more practical, and half because I just think it looks funny with a big trailer attached to it. Also I have hauled firewood with a trailer designed for a truck attached to a tiny Yamaha big Bear from the 80s. That if a lil 1 cylinder ATV can do that a 6 cylinder BMW z3 can absolutely haul a couch or two so long as there's a spot to attach a trailer.
It's not the go, it's the whoah. You need hookups for brakes on the trailer itself, lights, turn signals. That's to augment what you're covering up with the back of the trailer, or the lack of mass in the tow vehicle, and the added weight in the rear can really stress the OEM brakes.
