IMHO, a 22 foot box being towed by a mid-sized pickup/SUV is a really
bad idea. It might go OK, but stopping would probably be a nightmare.

Anyone wanna hear my story about losing the rear brakes on my Ford
Explorer while still 250 miles from home...and towing a heavy trailer
loaded with a Standard Pennant sedan? Planning is everything when one
needs to slow and stop. Ironically, the brakes went out in
Mechanicsburg, PA, on a Saturday afternoon during which NO mechanics
were to be found anywhere near the Interstate....
In its prime, that '91 Explorer with the 4.0 V6, five-speed and full
towing package was great for towing, and I still got 19mpg doing so
(and around 20-21mpg without trailer).

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
