I just sold my 7x14 aluminum enclosed trailer. Just wasn’t using it enough so (I have other options too) I put what I thought was a crazy price...$1500 more than I paid for it in 2017, and it sold in less than a week. Guy drove 6+ hours to get it with cash in hand.
Depending on what I’m doing and where I’m going it’s either my 2007 Ford Ranger or my 3500 Ram dually pulling my 18’+2 aluminum car trailer or my 40’ Wolfpack toyhauler.

My Honda Hauler is a 2020 Ram 3500 with the Max Tow package (6.7L HO, Aisin Transmission, 4.10 gears, Air Ride Suspension). The trailer is a 8.5x24 Interstate enclosed... we are in the process of converting it to a Camper / Toy Hauler. This thing pulls like a dream.
Some nice trucks on this list!!
currently a 2013 F-150 3.5 EcoBoost. Love it but it’s getting up there in miles so in the market for the next truck. Or we use my wife’s 2018 Armada if the whole family comes with.

2016 F150 3.5 EcoBoost here as well. My first Ford ever. No issues at 65K miles.
2006 GMC 3500 Duramax Dually (only has 112,000 miles) pulling a 2021 Grand Design Momentum 381M.
At the bottom is a better pic of the truck. I used to pull doubles but the wife hated it (made her nervous) and "made" me buy the toy hauler

Pulling doubles with a 5er is easy and more forgiving than a bumper pull. Pulling doubles with a bumper pull is also possible but you MUST get the tongue weights and balance perfect or you will sway. Once a double bumper pull starts to sway, you are in trouble. Personally, I used a sway control on the rear trailer just in case. Probably didn't need it but even if I tried to "test force" a sway, it always made the 2nd trailer go back straight. My BIL pulls double bumper pulls and has no issues.
In either case, you cannot see the 2nd trailer unless you have a camera. I have personally seen someone dragging a flat on the second trailer without knowing and another dragging the 2nd trailer by the safety chains without knowing.
Also, you need to mind state laws. Most limit total length between 60 and 75 feet, require brakes on the 2nd trailer and some don't even allow 2 trailers. Some states require the safety chains from the 2nd trailer be attached directly to the 1st trailer's frame. For instance, Utah is 65' (100' with a permit) and requires brakes on the 2nd trailer if it is over 3,000 lbs. I was about 72', chains to the frame and no brakes on the second trailer and never got questioned in Utah. Went to Sand Hollow and back, passed a dozen HP troopers and not one of them pulled me over. Pulled through several other states and never got questioned either and I doubt I was 100% legal in any of the states I drove in.
Not sure about where you are located but here in the west, if you are driving the speed limit and staying in your lane, it seems the HP have better thing to do with their time here.
If you decide to tow doubles, I highly recommend a backup camera on the first trailer and TPMS on all tires.
I have a 24ft camper and 14ft utility trailer that I would do it with. That isn’t a bad idea adding sway control to the second as that is my main concern.
What? Was it the suspension? The wooden seats? Just the boys you were packed in there with?I once road in a deuce and a half a lot, and I hope to never ride in one again.

Those old multifuel diesels would run on anything but performance and speed was not their forte!I once road in a deuce and a half a lot, and I hope to never ride in one again.
