There is no way that Merc hauled that trailer unless it was gutted
It had a special dolly to carry the tongue weight so all it had to do was pull it. Remove the tongue weight from the shuttle and a Toyota can pull it!!!
Remember:
The Hollywood Special Effects people can do almost anything.
Imagine:
Pulling the plug and draining Lake Michigan …
100,000 bulldozers filling the lake with vanilla ice cream …
Every fire department around the lake spraying it with hot fudge …
and the Blue Angels towing a 5,000 pound maraschino cherry and dropping it on top …
I think you get the picture …
Yeah, I don't think they had those capabilities in 1953!!! - LakeLifeTLExplorer

In order to pull that trailer, all the car needed was Timbrens, SuperSprings, an anti-sway bar and air-bags.
It didn't even need any of that. As said previously, they used a special tow dolly that took on all of the tongue weight of the trailer. The guy that mounted their hitch sold it to them as per the movie. - SangoExplorerThanks for reminding me of that movie, it is hilarious. Have seen the movie and read the book by Clinton Twiss. Will have to check them out again from the library. Which I just did and placed a hold on both the movie and book.

- thetroutman4ExplorerGreat movie. Now I want to dig the DVD out and watch it again!
- rickeoniExplorerIt's just a movie, for entertainment and I was entertained no matter how unfathomable some of the scenes are. I watch movies for fun and to forget about reality for a while.
