I'm trying to decide between a trailer (to be pulled by my
wife's auto trannied Subaru Impreza) or a beater pickup/van.

Around here (Phoenix AZ area) I see a lot of trailers made out of 1/2
of a beater truck. They cut the frame at the front of the pickup bed
and weld on a tongue, using the existing rear wheels of the truck.

Not sure where you would find one of these homebrew trailers, or how
much they cost. My only thought was that it would be the size of a
full-size pickup bed if that's what you started with.

Just a suggestion, sorry I couldn't be more help.
