Does it really matter? I think you're missing the point of this thread.

I didn’t say it was a $80,000 truck to begin with.

I'm getting old but my eyes are 20/20.

All I see is a red tailgate and a white cab, can’t even tell what make the truck is.

His neighbor though it was a good idea soooo

I would love to see these two baking up somewhere... well as long as I am not stuck behind them.

I would live to see these two baking up somewhere... well as long as I am not stuck behind them.

That's basically a home built converter gear. And they're not all that hard to back up with.

Then again, there are people who can't back up a single long trailer, so...

I have never try baking up a B train trailer but I understand the principle on how to do it. I have seen my fair share of people who can't back up a trailer in camping grounds and boat launch's it's actually funny to look at, well as long as you are not stuck behind them... but anyhow I have my doubt, but hey good on them if they can, I still rather not being behind them just in case.

Well, a B-train would be much easier to back up than normal doubles. While there are still two pivot points, the length of the first trailer would be quite helpful.

With regular doubles and a con gear there's not only an additional pivot point, but the tongue on the con gear is generally quite short.

Let us see.
Newer looking Ford Super Duty.
Crewcab.
4x4
Lets take the cheap option, gas v8.
Middle trim level XLT.
I just did a price and build on the Ford site.
That truck without a single option, not one, is $78,000 plus here in Ontario Kanuckistan another 13% tax ($10140) = $88140.
Still registration fees and plates to go.
I know someone who bought a King Ranch version and his was over $135,000.
Diesel, leather, fancy wheels, off road pkg... everything.
Furthest it will go off road is the road into his cottage which is better maintained than many city streets.

And some people think a $50,000 EV is stupid.

At least the truck could tow the EV to a charging station then take the EV owner home or to a coffee shop while they wait 8 hours to recharge.

There are people that can't even back up a car, let alone a truck and trailer.
