Sure, it can be done to tow a 5er with a grocery hauler. After you add a slider hitch, extra springs or air bags, change the tires to E' s, add trailer brake unit .
After all that you still have a grocery hauler with weak brakes.
For less money, no mods, get the right truck. you wont find it any harder to park and not measurably thirstier on fuel.
I traded my overweight, overrated superglide for a 90lb Husky fixed. I realized I didn't require a slider. I installed Timbrens to level it out. Why do I need E tires? The brake controller is integrated with the truck. It seems to work great. The brakes have stopped the rig every time so far. Why would I have weak brakes? I get 22 mpg driving my grocery getter to work and 9-12 mpg towing the FW in my sig.
What else you got?
