One adisional factor is the distance of the hitch from the rear axle. Less is more. In a perfect world you would put the pivot point between the rear wheels of the tow vehicle. There are two hitches for travel trailers that atempt to achive/simulate this. The Hensley does it with some fancy linkages, but eliminates the tow ball as a result. But in any event, some tow vehicle mass can be replaced with tow geometry. Not that I am recommending this, but I have seen a duo towed with a VW bottle. I towed a 304cz with a bottle, and the safe speed iwas about 10mph slower than my ukonxl. The upon was 2 x the mass, but much farther from the axle to the hitch

At only 50 hp I wouldn't be taking it in the mountains (or hills, for that matter).

Gotta admit, it's a pretty cute idea. (Horsepower deficiency aside.)
