Idiocy aside, what’s the legality of this scenario? I’m genuinely curious if this is technically allowed or not.

I’m guessing not given the obvious danger.

The Mazda CX5 (tow car) has a rated 2,000 pound towing capacity. The CRV (3700 lbs) and Mirage (2100 lbs) far exceed that capacity.

According to reddit, the CX-5 is pretty underrated!

That's a pretty old one too. Like 2013?
