Curious that the original poster mentioned leaving it in low; does anyone
think it would actually get a chance to shift into any other gear, if it
could pull that load, in a distance of only 100 yards?

I have a 23' Chapperalle. and double axle trailer (total weight est 5000
pounds.) I'd like to tow it up a ramp and into a storage yard then
launch once/year. Ramp is about 20% and maybe 20' long, the yard is
less than 100 yards away.

My vehicle is a Chevy Malibu with a wheezy 4, and the trailer has an
electric winch.

Think if I stayed in Low, and went slow I could do it?

I can't add anything to what others have already said.

This is not a good idea.
