Speechless!
This guy dropped this off last week and I couldn't get a picture. Well today I was able to. Overheard him saying he only takes it to the lakes with it, but that is over an hour away at about 50 miles....

While we don't know the specs and weights, it sure seems from the photo the Acura is likely over it's payload rating.
I could not tell, but it didn't look like any wdh was installed either.
Clearly this person has the financial means to have a proper tow vehicle. This is not about who can afford what. It's about someone who does not appear to understand weights, limits and payload.
There's nothing wrong with rving with an older truck and trailer. I actually like seeing them in the cg and being used. My camper is 28yrs old now. I want to see as many people out rving as possible, regardless of what they can or can't afford.
In my youth i towed a 21', single axle 1977 Go-Tag with an 1987 ford ranger 4x4. The ranger was way overloaded. Why? Because i was ignorant back then about weights/payload and didn't know any better. I think this is mostly why we see things like this. Folks just don't know any better.
Yes, back in the 60s and 70s, cars and station wagons were used to pull TTs, but let's be honest here, those full size cars and wagons were built as heavy as half ton trucks in frame, steering and suspension components you can't compare a uni body vehicle to one that's body on frame for heavy towing duty.
I'm very glad i had the forethought to get involved with this forum and it's great members. I've certainly learned a lot and had a few laughs along the way.
I hope yall are having a happy memorial day weekend. Remember our military and the ones that paid the ultimate price so we can live free and go camping.
