Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Love those new GM trucks. They can really take a beating.

Yea. I think the one in the photo was the unit GM used in the tests when they advertised against the 2015 Ford aluminum bodies!

It looks like it did the job!

It did! Figured some might get a laugh from it though. Redneck engineering! lol

Saw this today; I have family who are police and said they wouldn't pull this guy over to check, but this looks sketchy to me.

As long as it's secure, with straps, it should be ok. They don't weigh very much.

The yellow sign to the right pretty much sums it up!

Hopefully he is leaving the whole thing at the dump.

Looks like a paper plate in the back window. Jon

Bet he has tie-dwons at the front axle. It's the common trait when hauling the Club Cars in truck beds. This is a popular site to see in the south eastern states from FL and up through the Carolinas.

No time for a photo, but today at the merge point of two freeways I saw a CHP officer, flashing lights on, parked behind and protecting a small junk trailer. As we got closer it was obvious the hub and wheel had come off the trailer leaving just the stub axle. Somebody forgot the cotter pin?

Seemed to me the only way to get the pickup and trailer to a safe place would be to just order the pickup to drag the trailer as-is to the shoulder beyond the merge, because getting a wrecker in there and hooked up with a dolly would disrupt traffic and likely cause crashes.

Unhook it, winch it onto a rollback and go? Should take 5 minutes once the truck arrives and not obstruct traffic beyond what is already happening.

Someone should ask some questions about this ball hitch and trailer rating…
