Walmart Concept Truck, Hey Mike W. got one of these?

We are looking at building a small get-a-way trailer, and getting a smaller truck to pull it. Building the Teardrop trailer I was giving thought to the Aerodynamics of the rig. The truck is more than likely going to sit higher than the trailer? I could make the trailer sit level by using a drop ball hitch but doing this would the aerodynamics of the wind going under the truck and hitting the front of the trailer make the trailer try to lift or weave with the wind turbulence. Or another thought would be to raise the trailer to the same height as the truck? (which I really don't want to do.)

The truck is a Toyota 4x4 Tacoma, the trailer will be like the one picture below. Using the type of axle that I want to, I cant change the height of the trailer once the axle is ordered. I can use half axles or one full axle, the weight is minimal so either way I believe would be fine. It would be easier to install a small water tank if the half axles were to be used.


the axles and the trailer, just something for the spur of the moment trip. Not going to spend a long time in it. :D


Thanks for your thoughts
