This was just posted on one of the Ram FB groups. Guy was asking about air bags.

Look at the gap between the bed and the cab is it just me or is the frame flexing?

Most of these type of "racks" I've seen at SXS/UTV events just set directly into the bed and attach to the bed's tie down points. This may pull the bed away from the cab if the weight is on the rear end? Always seemed like a bad design for such a product since most SXS/UTV's have the engine located closer to the rear axle as opposed to autos where it's (usually) over the front axle.

Just one question, how the H did they fold up the ramps?

Undo the pins and turn it over by hand and repin it.

LOL, yeah I know how to do it, I was just being a smart aleck.

Would have been pretty tough to do on my last new trailer since the 8 1/2 foot long "pin" was held in by large flat washers welded onto each end

At his next fuel stop, he realized the pro4x package wasn’t up to the task..

Looks like she’s down to a 2X.

Maybe that's just hydraulics to lower the trailer for bridge clearance...Brilliant!

Lowrida!! Must be some relatively light grass hay to be able to even move. + there is all of them power stickers on the gate.

Looks like one of those mini diesel Isuzu trucks.


Doesn't Isuzu make diesel engines for GM too?

Look at the rear axle. I don't think that truck in anywhere near "stock".

Duramax was a joint venture between GM and Isuzu. In Thailand the Isuzu and Chevy trucks get the exact same engine, just a different label. The interiors / exteriors look very similar too.

I wouldn't necessarily call this terrible towing, just doing what I had to do. When your truck is dead 1300 miles from home, you may not have a lot of options. The dude above with the 2 pickups was more ingenuitive though.
