Handles like its not even there, and if you give proper spacing, stops just fine, thanks for the input though.

do you at least have an electric brake setup on your truck? a trailer that large, rated to tow a car should have electric brakes on it. if you do, then towing and stopping that thing should be fine!

I would never even think of putting a car on this trailer w/o my electric brake setup. Never ever.
