    Nah! I had the local U-Haul place put a hitch on my 2002 Spyder (Mitsubishi Eclipse) for $175, including wiring. Towed my boat around a bit, but not advisable!

    Still, I can hook my trailers to it and tow stuff all over. Just have a look at the tow capacity for your vehicle and don’t go nuts.

      Yes, that’s a regular hitch you’re describing.

      This hitchless system would require the boat trailer to also have an entire motor and drivetrain. Effectively, a whole second vehicle, removing the main benefit of a trailer.

      That benefit being that it doesn’t have a motor and drivetrain!

      I could probably think of something dumber, but it would hurt my brain to do so
