I can hear the responses now, "but I'm not towing with a Mustang, I've got a F150 EgoBoost, it'll tow bazillion lbs & I can't tell it's back there!!!".

Why don't they have trailer brakes.. crazy video. Accidents happen when going downhill and you don't want to hit the brakes because you might jack knife...

In my thinking there are two major fails in the rv towing industry. First off is the "you can tow anything on the lot with your vehicle" and second is the "hitch her up and go" attitude. If you're looking at a motorhome a test drive is typical. With a towable, it's typically hitched up and everyone disappears. YMMV

Good video; should be required viewing before towing anything.
