Depends on your individual settings I guess?

I guess you have to decide whether "@%&#ty" means "poorly done" or "in poor taste" or "subjectively not my cup of tea".  Quite a few there are well-made but not something I could ever see myself drive around in.  But then, there are still people that drive Azteks, so...

Yikes this made me curious if there was a way to safely setup a fifth wheel with an SUV, turns out there is.

You will likely exceed your maximum axle, gross vehicle, and gross combined ratings by a large amount if you use The Automated Safety Hitch System with an SUV and a fifth wheel.  Although The Automated Safety Hitch System puts a real wrinkle in the axle and gross vehicle calculations because it's semi-hard-linked to your vehicle's frame so it does have tongue weight past the back bumper causing the front to lift, but not nearly as much as a long trailer.

Honestly, it's easier to just find a conventional trailer, it'll be less tall so less wind resistance and it'll be shorter so fit better in spaces and there'll be more places with experience that can help you park or fix it or whatever.

Are you thinking of a trailer for your little Mazda?
