Brendan,

I can't help you with a repair facility, but I towed my Express down to Long Beach and back twice on a single axle trailer without any problems. My tow vehicle is a Ford Ranger with a 4 liter V6 and it has no problems with power. The brakes on my trailer don't work (I expect this is the case with most of the trailers out there) and I don't have any problems just using the brakes on the truck.

Hope this helps

Dan
