I would like to add a serious consideration. As FiremanGeorge showed, the SS was neither engineered nor intended to be used to tow anything.
If you get into an accident, and the trailer is a factor, you WILL be found at fault and will be liable for all damages, including any injuries.

You need to inform your insurance company of your plan and up your Liability and PIP accordingly.

FWIW, I was a volunteer firefighter a long time ago and had to help clean up the scene of an accident once, caused by someone towing more than their vehicle could handle.
It was not pretty. And for the driver, I understand it was horrendously expensive (millions).
There are reasons the engineers say what they say.

Very Good Point.

And a Definite Consideration ......

Indeed, valid point for sure.

 

 

Yes agreed, more to it other than " is the tow-ball the bright size".........
