Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Don't know about other vehicles but my Tundra has a little wheel on the dash to adjust the headlight vertically from normal position downward to compensate for loads in the bed.

Apparently mine does, also.

I have had a 2007 and a 2018 SR5 and do not remember seeing that dial. I know there is a dial for dash lamp intensity. Picture would be helpful of dial. Thanks. Jon

Here ya go

This is always how I've done mine. The biggest problem, in my little corner of the world (foothills of the Pocono subrange of the Appalachians), finding any stretch of flat ground longer than your car itself, is neigh-on impossible. You end up playing games with, "well, I'm on a hill, but at least the slope of the hill is constant".

A few years back I replaced the entire headlight units on my truck as the originals were leaking and not particularly clear any more

and my driveway while gentle is still definitely a slope

I got the headlights aimed "mostly" against the garage door, then drive a quarter mile down the road to where it's almost flat and straight for another quarter mile, put the flashers on and fine-tuned the aim there

must've done a good job because despite then being very white (5000K - zero blue, not yellow at all) and very bright, on a truck riding 35's, I get flashed maybe once a year.

I can see for miles and miles

We see this picture too often with Dodge Ram trucks. Do they really have weak frames or is it just that they get posted more? Or is it that the people who buy them don't know when to stop?

The later one, definitely. Isn't that a 1500 too?

That's what I thought. There is this funny decal on the door which tells when to stop overloading it. Reading comprehension eludes some people though.

How can it be overloaded? The trailer isn't even full yet!

I think it's photo shopped. The front is too level for a frame buckle. The middle would be up or down, not level. Other shadows and fuzzy areas don't seem to add up. JM2C.

I see mostly Fords in these pictures. I'd guess there are stupid owners overloading poorly-maintained trucks, in all brands.
