All of the hitches I have seen are weight limited to 3000#
I would think that flat towing a vehicle would be problematic due to the vehicle being towed exerting a side force on the axles during turns. Even dolly towing would still put you significantly over the weight limit.
I saw a 5th wheel at a shop a couple years ago that had the axles pulled about 2 ft to the side because of a heavy boat the owner was towing.
You could always send a note to Lippert with your VIN and ask them but I think you have a zero % chance of them saying its okay.2021 Reflection 337RLS, 2024 Silverado 3500HD 6.6 gas with faux Allison 10 speed. Nellie the Diva, wonder boxer -
There was a picture of a guy towing a vehicle behind his Solitude with his dually out front. I do not think it's a good idea due to the forces mentioned above. Let's not forget the hitch on the trailer is good for 300 lb vertical and probably not enough laterally or longitudinally to account for the steering forces. I don't know where you are in the US, but most roads are getting so rough that the bump steering on the jeep will exert lots of lateral forces.Joseph

I saw many outrageous setups this summer, Joseph. The one below I could not believe--a lift for a Harley on the back of a Momentum (the other Harley went in the Momentum). How this owner manages pin weight and doesn't completely jack up the camper's frame is beyond me.Originally posted by Jlawles2 View Post

4 or 5 years ago I saw a Hummer being towed behind a 5th wheel.

I think we all have stories of setups we have seen on the roads and in the campgrounds where we just shook our heads.

For those of us who did not remember. The picture was posted here https://gdrvowners.com/towing-and-hi...-of-a-solitude with my luck the jeep would have passed me in the dually followed closely by the 5er...Joseph
