Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

How many of us are guilty of working/driving all day, being dog tired and only have 10 miles more to make it home......
We know we should pull over but we continue anyways......

This is true. I knew it all at 16 but have come to realize that I've forgotten most of it. :laughing:

The more you know the more you know you don't know.

Someone please get this train wreck back on track. It's getting awfully insulty out, which will get even good threads closed.

I wish I’d gotten a picture but two days ago I passed a guy on coming up our narrow winding 9% hill pulling a D6 on a goose neck with a 2006ish Dodge 3500 4WD SRW.

I’d hate to picture trying to stop or avoid anything with that setup. Ironically he’s one of the only people around here driving a truck like that WITHOUT the mirrors extended.

I do not think it is all that "insulty". A few rank posts, but all in all not that bad.
There is a discussion meandering, but which thread does not have some of that.....
Especially after 9,660 posts and over a million and a half views.
I think a good portion of the recent posts are looking at self and pointing out our human flaws, especially in regards to hauling and towing.

We all can learn something from a good discussion.

I think it may be over the GVW rating for that rig.....

18 tons
The Caterpillar D6 track-type tractor is a medium bulldozer manufactured by Caterpillar Inc. with a nominal operating weight of 18 tons. The military versions were classified as the SNL G152 medium tractor, under the G-numbers classification system used for army tractors.

The snow has been a record around here.
The driveway snow banks are so high that most completely hide a car.

Couple weeks ago a pickup was parked (completely hidden) with a roof mounted ladder that was sticking out into the traffic flow.
Fortunately there was no oncoming traffic and I caught sight in time to swerve onto the opposite lane.
Naturally not even a red flag.

Making matters worst he was parked in a drive that was partially around a curve making it a very last minute eye capture.

Speed was not an issue either.

Not "wrong" in particular, just funny to see an old man riding a bicycle while towing a bicycle on a trailer the size of a small car on a stretch of road that has a 55MPH limit... He does this all the time and has for years. :laughing:

What goes on the trailer?

More bikes. I've seen him have nearly a dozen on it.
