Don't worry, someone will be along shortly to tell us how they've towed a rig just like that for a million miles without a problem...

Well, truth to tell, there is one very safe thing evident from the pic.
The car and trailer are PARKED!!!!

No one has to take an IQ test to hook up a trailer, this guy would have been in the 50's

As soon as he starts it up the "Air-Ride" suspension will level it out and then "No Problem". Put in bigger air bags and you can tow anything.  I always laugh when I see the the sticker on the U-Haul trailer "Maximum speed 45mph". They are usually passing me when I see it.

If they hooked a bike rack, a generator rack and put a spare tire on the back of the U Haul, it would reduce the tongue weight and probably wouldn't even need the air bags.... 
just sayin'

Saw this today
When I was moving from Ct. to Brant Lake I would rent a U Haul with my wife's Aerostar get home and put it on my Explorer to tow. I would then drop it off to them after hours they never knew what I towed with I would tell them that I might have to change vehicles but they did not ask to what kind.

I just don't understand the lies they need to tell U Haul to get this setup??
Every time I have gone to U haul it have been 20 questions, was once refused a car hauler trailer, that was going to be pulled with a F250 460 with a 10K tow rating, because I was going to haul an 91 Ford Explorer on it. Went to the next store told them I was going to tow a Bronco II, got the OK.
I just the other day saw the same type U Haul trailer attached to a Volvo 740 wagon, with a Camry or similar car on it, it was parked and sitting very level, low hitch weight??

Don't forget to add "and had no problem going up 10% grade in overdrive at 80 m.p.h."
