When towing a vehicle, the towed should not weigh more than the tower.
What are the weights of the two vehicles?
Based on an experience my son had, I would not do what you are describing!
This may be true in some cases, but not necessarily in all cases. We have a 2010 Ford Expedition that weighs in at 6,100 lbs. It has a towing capacity of 9,200 lbs. We regularly to a 2 axle trailer with loads varying from 3,000 lbs. to 9,000 lbs. without any problems. The only caveat is the trailer must be equipped with it's own brakes. In our case both axles have 12" Dexter electric brakes.
