Let's start over......
It's not a good feeling when you catch a gust the right way and feeling the trailer start to take the *** end your truck and do what ever it wants to with it. It's even worse watching it in the mirror as you work to regain control. I've had it happen a couple times and each time there were little clothe washers punched out of the seat. I also take that stuff pretty seriously because I used to make my living behind a steering wheel driving everyday instead of driving a desk.
Have you ever seen what's left after an accident where the driver lost control of truck and trailer? Let me tell you there isn't much left of either the truck or trailer.
Craig's my friend even though we've never met face to face and I don't want to see him or anyone else hurt because of something that could have been avoided.

I've towed over my limit before with Fiddy (estimated around 6,000 lbs and very tongue heavy)
Still think thats safer than some of the "mexican trains" we see on 35 all the time headed south
and the "mexican train" is safer than this Chevy i saw one morning going to work

My 03 5.4 2v pulled a single wide mobile home 100 miles once.....a friend was desperate to get it moved out of the park and relocated to his family's farm.....never again will I do that....
