This is hilarious, especially as someone who tows a trailer with a pickup often. I can't believe they didn't think about the tongue weight. There's a company that used to make dollies that would take the tongue weight of a trailer for a tow vehicle that didn't have the capacity, they might have been better served to try something like that.

Also... In 1947 the French racer Alfred Letourner towed an Airstream travel trailer with a bicycle. I have a large scale print of the moment hanging above my couch. Various people have recreated it, too.
