Toy hauler is your answer. No way should you hang the weight of a HD of the back of a 5er. The frames are not designed for that much weight.

Some frames can carry the load but they are few. New Horizons has no problem carrying it with their 18" frames and my Mobile Suites with a 16" frame has had no problems with over 40K miles on it.
Correction, DRV frames are 15". Two 2x6 and one 2x3 tubes stacked add up to 15".
I tow a Kendon two bike trailer behind my DRV. I would never give up my rear window!!!
Look carefully at the DRV stacked frame. They are NOT a full 15" frame through the entire length. The 2 x 3 section to give the total 15" height is only in the wheel attachment area. It also does not extend the 12" section all the way to the rear/

This is inaccurate. You are referring to the riser that is added to raise the trailer to accommodate the higher tow vehicle. The frame itself is 15" for the full length of the lower frame.
