Will a FL tow 2.5T?
Disco or Defender will tow same, aslong as too much dust don’t fall out from under the tarp
Not sure where the ability/tow capacity of vehicle came into to this, the OP wants to store the trailer
Which could really mean his wife doesn’t want to lose the lawn, I guess we will have to wait.
But if he's not quick in coming back this thread is going everywhere and nowhere side tracked as always

Ah I misread. I thought he wanted to pull it, then store.
What is upend?- left poking up save room??
Scaffold planks are good for moving trailers over lawns, spread the weight. If you’ve got to manoeuvre it then a big board maybe.

He does say in his post that it is a really stupid question.
I imagine it is a small unbraked trailer, and he wants to stand it up on the tailboard, to save space.
In which case the obvious suggestion would be to get somebody else to help him lift it up.
But why he needs to ask about that on the internet I have no idea.

‘There are no stupid question’ type of stupid question though deserves warrant
And he did warn us first
And he did warn us first
He did admit to “ stupid question “ but did say it’s heavier than he thought. Give him a break for admitting it guys
Upending is an option but breaking lights every time ouch sideways may be an option too.
Maybe we need more info before we all engineer in a solution that exceeds spending the cost of renting a garage to store it in.
If it’s a car trailer parked where you park your car, just park the car on top each night

Another take on the question, is to heavy to move by pushing our pulling. Bribe a mate or use ratchet straps/block-n-tackle, or put a winch on the trailer and use that

I agree with kermit, get a mate to help but make sure it's safe once you have upended it, things have a habit of falling over when not in their natural position.
ps there's no such thing as a stupid question but you will always get plenty of stupid answers.
