I imagine you could if you started from scratch. Youd have to go through the bumper mounting holes, and then I dont know what you would do with the bumper. I made a towbar to suit my fastback.. which was rough not pretty... welded a piece of steam pipe between the 2 bumper brackets, cut a small section out of the bumper bottom edge to weld the goosneck in there. Im sure it could be done prettier if you started with a straight bumper and had 1/2 an ounce of patience.

if the towbar comes out through the guards then it has to work on that side of things. the trailer... i dunno.

you would need boat trailer or mini wheels on your trailer to get it low enough and probably have your gooseneck up over the top of your bar and be removable so to be able to open the decklid😉

As far as the trailer goes you could probably put a set of "lowering blocks" between the axle & leaf springs, but then your problem will be clearance between guards & tyres which I spose could be overcome with a smaller wheel diameter/tyre profile which would in turn help to lower the trailer a little more as well.
You just have to come up with a towbar/hitch that doesnt need to mount from underneath the car, probably mount on the bumper brackets/bumper bar somehow.

I dont know how your go over changes in road angle - even the slightest angled driveway would cause havoc and you would likely bottom out - the trailer arms would have to be very short (think motor bike trailer compared to the bikes length) i.e. get the wheels of the trailer as close to the car as possible, and the hitch point as high as possible.

What are you planning to tow?
Maybe something like Bluey's latest woudl be the go.
If not the design then at least the idea/chassis structure.
It can be taken off the tralier chassis and there's channelling beneath it to slip down over roof racks.
