Side adjustable hitch. If your not really centered when you line up the trailer just twist the all thread.....

That is the new Class Six semi permanent hitch,,,

That is the hitch that comes with the Harbor Freight $199 trailer kit.

I still have that book somewhere... Got it 47 or so years ago.

I think there's an earlier VW Bug version of this. [VW Rabbit magazine ad].

Or - maybe memories from long before that are still rolling around in my head.

I had that book as a child and loved it. I recently bought a copy for our niece to read to her little kids as their Christmas present. I hope they like as much as I did.

And after a career working for the Highway Department - C/T - I have even more respect for the guys up at Whitmore and Kingvale maintenance stations up on I-80 who keep Donner Pass open over the Sierras in the worst winter weather. That little book isn't far from the world they manage.

Definitely towing something wrong .... probable brake failure.

Looking at some of the cars on the road the video is from Russia. If I am not mistaken cameras are mandatory there. looks to me like sleepy or more likely drunk driver. While working in Russia we were not allowed to take any rides including company cars and taxi on mondays or after holiday. It was pretty much certain the drivers were drunk.

After the truck rolls over you can see the tractors rear tires are smoking. But the trailers are not

I think it's the brakes smoking.

Where I found that vid - there was no explanation at all.

There's probably a source out there somewhere with a better explanation.
