You can but you may have a fitting problem. The average mid-size car is around 16 feet long. The other issue you may have is will your 12 foot trailer handle the 3500 lbs of weight. If your trailer is a single axle make sure your insurance is paid in full before you try. If you miss the weight distribution and get it tail heavy you will find out quickly what a 4,000 plus pound whip feels like. I have witnessed a similar set up turn a dually over like it was a tonka toy.

Now if you think the car will fit and the trailer will handle the weight the final step is to look at the angle of the incline from whatever ramp system you plan to use while loading. If the angle is steep or the rear of trailer is higher than the front of trailer the car will hang when it tries to make the transition from ramp to trailer bed.

You would use your right foot on the accelorater and brake. Your left foot on the clutch. If the handbrake was in the middle of the car you would use your left hand and the same with the gear lever. If the handbrake was on the door side of the driiver you would use your right hand. You would use the same foot in a British car, as you would in an American, Japanese, or any other type of car, which is of course your right foot.


Can you use a 28 foot pontoon trailer and haul a 25 foot pontoon?

Sure, there's no problem 'provided' that the rails, or guides, that the pontoons sit on are correctly positioned. The length of the trailer shouldn't have any affect on its ability to carry a smaller boat if its pontoons fit properly.
