This is the shortest wheelbase that I would recommend for this trailer. My Lincoln Navigator is rated to tow it but I would use it only in an emergency due to the wheelbase and the 1/2 ton running gear.
The weirdest wheelbase to trailer ratio I've ever seen ws a Smart ForTwo towing a trailer with a glider inside it.
These trailers are almost 10 m long, it looked hillarious.

Note: That was *not* on public roads and you absolutely shouldn't do that.
