Prius towing a travel trailer? Yes.
Saw this at Costco in Washington state... It was an older single axle trailer. What do you think? Sorry I didn't get more photos. Was in a hurry.

Does the Prius have a frame? If not, it would seem risky to stress the unit. Sounds a bit like putting a hitch on a beer can and hoping for the best.
Just a quick Google shows the '03 Explorers had a max tow capacity of 7k depending on setup, whereas the new pseudo Explorers come in at 5k. I stand to be corrected as I'm no expert, but I believe the older Explorers had a Ranger frame, where as the new ones are a Taurus platform.
There are lots of rig "Without a Frame" towing trailers just fine. It is called a Unibody, My daughter has a Honda Ridgeline with a 5,000# towing capacity. We towed a tandem axle U-Haul box trailer at 4,600#, along with 3 adults, and two 100# dogs.
I use to have a 64 Econoline van that I transplanted a 5L Ford small block into and towed a 3,000# 22' sail boat with all over.
