If that痴 ridiculous too small is this ridiculous overkill? View attachment 619383

No, I saw a dump truck strapped down on the bed of a flat-bed-semi heading north on I-95 in Florida several years ago. It was the only load on the trailer. The dump truck was made by "Tonka" and was about 12" (inches) long and one 4" strap holding it down. Wished I'd had a camera with me at the time.

For the life of me I can稚 understand why anyone would buy such a small trailer that you can稚 even haul a 2x4 or sheet of plywood on it. What痴 the point of buying it in the first place?

I saw a guy at Home Depot a few months ago loading a bunch of 8ft 2x4痴 into a 5ft trailer stacking them on top of the rear fold up gate. Rediculous!

Those trailer are for suburban homeowner to haul trash cans to the dump, get flowers and mulch from Lowes. Same reasons people bought the Explorer Sport (crew cab pickup w/ 3-1/2' bed). I have seen the tiny trailer with a couple trash bags so they don't get any mess in the big luxury SUV. Harbor freight has version that folds and stands up corner of the garage.

I've seen people post those on TBN before, one member was going to pick up his son's new toy tractor and the kid "Wanted to haul it home just like Daddy's tractor."

The ones that get me are the full size pickups pulling out of the lumber yard towing one of these little trailers with just a small quantity of lumber or something else in it, that would have easily fit in the bed of the truck. I just don't get that at all. Full size truck, full size truck bed, towing a little dinky trailer behind it with a handful of small items in it.

Just ?

Want to pull up next to them at a light and order them to turn in their Man Card.

That is the people that buy a pickup truck but are afraid to scratch the bed. Most people that own pickup trucks don't use them for pickup trucks.

One of the funniest things I ever saw was a 5 foot nothing sub-100 pound girl literally climbing into something just shy of a monster truck. Running board was not far below her shoulders. No way when could have opened the tailgate without it falling on top of her head.

Was it parked in a Handicapped space with the appropriate tag hanging from the mirror? That's the ultimate enhancement on that sort of truck.

I meet them in the woods occasionally, they always expect me to pull into the ditch so that they don't scratch their paint job.

Get a new truck you might as well put a scratch on somewhere before you leave the dealership. Bed of the truck or some other out of sight spot. Just get it done and over with.
