Towing Second trailer behind Fuzion FZ310

We are currently looking at buy a 2012 FZ310. We need to be able to haul another trailer behind it to fit all of our quads. We live in Alberta so it is legal under 65 feet to do so. Does anyone know if the FZ310 is capable of having a bumper hitch installed on the frame to tow a secondary trailer?
Thanks for you help

Logan, the total length of your rig now is approaching 53-54 feet, assuming a long bed crew cab. That would leave scant room for much of a trailer to haul "quads" however many that may be. We have an eight foot utility trailer, 6'9" wide, to haul the Road King and sidecar combo and it measures 11.5' long. We are just an inch or two + or - of 70'. Not legal in some states, borderline in others.
If you are looking to stay legal then I have very little to suggest. You will simply be too long under the given circumstances.

We tow a 30'5" fifth wheel with a F250 short bed crewcab. We tow either an 18' bass boat (total rig length 74'8") or a flatbed aluminum 14' trailer with the slingshot (total rig length 71'11").

Your trailer is 5' longer than ours. To stay under 65' total rig length, you're going to be limited to a trailer under 9' long, and that includes any "receiver/ball length" behind the trailer. Normally the actual ball is located 12-18" behind the trailer bumper, so subtract a foot or a bit more from that 9' trailer and you're left with a trailer that would barely carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood without it hanging over the ends of the trailer....

If you're willing to "push the envelope" you can probably get a 5x10 trailer that would be light enough, but you're probably going to be pushing 68-70' total length.... Compound that with the added length of a long bed truck (if you have a dually or a LB crew cab) and you're going to be even longer.....
