It is troublesome to read post like this one. It means that neither the purchaser, nor the seller (often a dealer) spent enough time making sure the combination would be a suitable fit.
I can forgive the buyer...they are new, have a lot to learn.
While it may not be the sellers responsibility to ensure a proper set-up (it should be with dealers) they have knowledge that they SHOULD pass on before allowing the dollar signs to cloud their eyes.
NOW YOU KNOW---be thankful. Many would just hook & go, putting themselves and others at risk.
Please do as other have said. Either get a trailer suitable for your tow vehicle, or upgrade your tow vehicle to something capable of towing that trailer.
