I can tell you a trailer with too much weight on the back is VERY
squirrelly and dangerous. In fact, if you use a regular 16-18 foot
utility trailer to haul a car, and put the car on backwards, it will be
dangerous because the front of the car weights more than the back.

It means its able to roll up to 2000 lbs. If you are talking about
those little portable ones, those work just fine pulling a car up on a
car dolly or something. Forget about dragging a dead wrecked car with 4
flat tires up on a car trailer though, you need a big heavy duty wench

Well you will need at least an 18 foot trailer with dual 3500lb axles,
minimum. You will then need something that will pull said trailer. You
may be able to get by with a 1/2 ton truck, but a 3/4 would be preferable.
