So as the best answer to can I feel it back there.
Not much, keep in mind it is basically empty, spare rim / tire , the reflectors and tire blocks may bring the weight to 150 lbs or less, so much like a passenger at this time until I get more used to it.
Backing up isn't different than trailer and truck, but it is quick to change direction and beginning to get the feel for it.
Accelerating is like it's not there, and didn't feel like it pushed while stopping. Cornering other than awareness of the width was as if it wasn't there. Loaded down most likely will be different.
I plan on putting in a load, 75 lbs and ride around to feel the difference.
Than take the wife with the same trailer load.
I just want to know the handling characteristics as weight increases before she climbs on.
