Few thousand? You basically have to buy most of an entire car as your hitch, including the most expensive parts like the engine or the motor and battery. This will be a few tens of thousands of dollars.
Yeah, the additional cost to get that towing ability is nothing to sniff at, and it narrows down your vehicle choices a lot.
Nah! I had the local U-Haul place put a hitch on my 2002 Spyder (Mitsubishi Eclipse) for $175, including wiring. Towed my boat around a bit, but not advisable!
Still, I can hook my trailers to it and tow stuff all over. Just have a look at the tow capacity for your vehicle and don't go nuts.
Yes, that's a regular hitch you're describing.
This hitchless system would require the boat trailer to also have an entire motor and drivetrain. Effectively, a whole second vehicle, removing the main benefit of a trailer.
That benefit being that it doesn't have a motor and drivetrain!
I could probably think of something dumber, but it would hurt my brain to do so
