So far, nobody knows anything about it, although someone mentioned a neighbor having a similar trailer. Why would you cut off the wagon behind the front seat? I guess the front doors were damaged, and that is still long enough. I slept in the back of my Forester a few times, although I think I needed to move the seats forward. I guess that it makes sense. Okay, say you pick up this salvage SUV: https://erepairables.com/salvage-car...class-15373013

Well, no, maybe not that one. There are probably enough good parts that you could sell individually for a good amount, but still...

How about this one? https://erepairables.com/salvage-car...unner-15338671

Chop off the engine compartment, sell everything that is still good, install a bed, and what would you need to drive that could pull such a heavy trailer?!
