Adding a Hitch To The Trailer

Let's say you can attach to the frame solidly without issue.
You still cannot put that percentage of the trailers total weight on the rear because it will cause serious sway.
You must have 10~15% of the trailers total weight on the tongue. You would end up with almost nothing and you may even be overloading it's tires and axles by the time you get everything else loaded.
Sorry but this one isn't even close.

BTW, your trucks frame is far more sophisticated and strong even though it doesn't look any bigger than the trailers frame, which is simple and cheaply made.

I understand that you have to load the trailer properly, I've towed a lot of cargo trailers and awkward loads that caused sway issues trying to get huge loads to the dump.

But again I see the receivers rated at 350-500lbs and I see guys towing boats behind these trailers so some amount of weight is possible.
