Terrible Towing pics thread

The irony is that they keep upping the tow ratings by making the trucks lighter. Sure you may have the power to pull 11.5k but controlling and stopping it gets worse with a lighter truck.

Trailers have brakes thats no issue but these campers that are way to heavy for 1/2 tons are being called 1/2 ton towable and people don't have the experience or education to know that even if the trailer is called 1/2 ton towable it may not be especially if you have a loaded option vehicle

And trailer sales places dont care to educate because they would rather sell a more expensive trailer regardless of the customers vehicle

It only works because the seat is folded forward ……it’s all about the aero!

Let's see it on the highway at 75MPH with a semi blowing by.

With no tongue weight to speak of, it's going to sway like a mofo.

You have no faith in a perfectly good Impala.

The trailer will be driving the car when he trys to brake aswell as i doubt he has a brake controller lol

The trailer must have surge brakes. And they always work very well!!

Does not look like it but they do work pretty good when setup properly!

Are those set up properly? Asking for a friend…. Lol

Not likely hell even my boat the surge brakes are way out of adjustment because the reverse pin is gone.

Speaking of that One of these days i gotta put the electric brakes on it i have sitting in the shed lol

That was common in the ‘90s low rider group to cut the cab and make it convertible . I think they would keep the windshield though.

Passed this beast several times yesterday. Sadly, he must have had better fuel range than me as he kept getting around me when I had to stop for fuel. Looks to be about 400k worth of equipment. Didn't get a look at his hitch setup but I bet it was impressive. Not sure how I would feel about using a 70k pickup as a trailer

I didn’t get a pic, because I was towing myself at the time and it was quite windy, but I got passed by someone the other day in an old Cummins towing an old janky 5er with what looked like a 20+ foot enclosed cargo trailer hanging off the back, doing about 75-80 downhill. Man that combo looked sketchy as hell wobbling down the interstate.

I got off at the next exit and took a lunch break because I didn’t want to be the first on scene to the pending disaster.

Was not me.

P.S. call the wife's trailer janky and she's gonna have words.

Looks like a Thursday afternoon in Alberta to me. The Mountie ain’t happy.

I can tell I'm still alive if I see that pic at least once a week.
