And I thought I was nuts for pulling a gooseneck horse trailer with
the air brakes unhooked. (it's not my trailer, and I only drove it
once) Them Tauruses weigh more than racehorses.

And another important thing:
I bet that trailer, fully loaded, has a pin weight of 10-12k lb. 
What's the rear GAWR on your pickup, is it at least 14k (rhetorical 
question)

I have never, ever seen anything that large (long), capable of carrying up
to three cars, running on a single axle, even a dually single. I can't
imagine it would be too stable. Plus I wonder how you would balance out two
or three heavy benzes. If you have a line on a cheap truck already setup for
it, and just want it for local use, maybe, but otherwise I think it's not
worth anything.

I have seen trailers like this before.  As long as you have a 1 ton truck 
with dual rears at a minimum they work very well.  Just don't try to load just 
one car on the top though as THAT's when you will end up with trouble.  That 
axle setup is plenty strong enough for 6 Benzez with the right truck pulling 
it(Like one with air brakes).
