Just wondering how many here don't even know who Jayne Mansfield was?

She was the mother of the women that plays Olivia Benson on Law and Order Aka, Mariska Hargitay.

Back around 1993 a kid near here was killed when the car he was riding in hit a lowbed which was across the road while backing into a driveway. About 10 years later I bought a tandem axle trailer from the kid's grandfather. He was still devastated by the death of his grandson.

Mariska was in the back seat sleeping when that wreck happened.

Is it wrong if it works?

Just me, or is that tailgater shelf starting to sag pretty badly, under that weight?

I wonder what the weight rating of that little shelf is, at that extension distance off the hitch.

Pretty sure it's 800lb tongue weight. And the fridge is probably 400-500lbs. So in his head he probably felt like it would work, without taking into account the distance off the hitch.

The bit less fancy 24 cu ft LG I recently purchased was 200 pounds.

A Tesla Model Y hitch receiver is rated for 3500 pounds towing, nominally 350 pounds on the receiver. However it is only rated 165 pounds for a "bicycle rack" which adds a significant moment arm on the receiver. As a result the Model Y is not suitable for carrying a power wheelchair.

We tend to get a new kitchen refrigerator every 2 - 4 years, they just die in our house. Now, I haven't weighed any of them, but I'd not be surprised if they all close to this 200 lb. number, rather than 400 lb. I suspect some might be lighter than that, the way I'm able to pretty easily muscle them in/out of their installed location.

A bit of a stretch, but snapped this on my way to work today. Technically not hauling anything,but prepared to.

Who puts roof racks on a quarter million dollar Lamborghini?
