Can't even feel i... hey, a bird!

Wish this was an April Fools Day joke, but a friend of mine saw this near Atlanta today.

Judging by the missing hub cap, missing fender trim, and scrapes between the windows, I'd say somebody has been having a rough day. Got too close to a tree, perhaps.
Looks like the umbilical is dragging a bit, too...
Looking even closer, I suspect the ball is only 2".

The lack of a WDH does reduce front tire wear.

Actually the Dodge Durango has plenty of power, I use to own one with the 5.7 liter V8. But the rest of it is not built for towing something like that.

Knowing True Southerners like I do, I expect that the picture is simply not showing the 1973 bass boat that is being towed behind that trailer.............................

Since April Fool's Day was yesterday, I assume you are serious -
No WDH - Assuming his hitch is a class IV, he is limited to 500 lbs. tongue weight. It's a pretty safe bet that tongue weighs a significant amount more than that.
With all the weight on the rear axle, there is a lack of steering control.

I know the lady who took the picture- definitely not photoshopped.
