As an engineer, the thing that would worry me most is that just because someone installed a Class 5 hitch and hasn’t had problems yet doesn’t mean it’s a good idea or that it won’t lead to a catastrophic failure in the future.

Do a search on this forum and you’ll find receiver and frame failures that occurred many miles after initial use. And many were while pulling toads, not overloaded trailers. Just suggesting to be extra careful.
25.2 Axis has rear slide only. 7.5 rear overhang with 194" wheelbase. 22,000 GVCWR. Yes rear frame will need to be modified for additional weight.
