Exceeding Towing capacity much
A buddy sent me this picture. Not sure if he took it or what. Just thought I should share it for some entertainment.

Haha They probably said half ton towable. That poor truck is begging to be put out of its misery.

And in wet/rainy conditions. Hopefully, anyone watching as this inevitable train-wreck happens, they'll be a good witness.

Looks like 09-2014 F150. I don’t even think Ford put the 3.5EB in the single cab. I wish I could have seen it with my own eyes. It would definitely be an interesting conversation with the owner.

Certainly saves wear and tear on the front tires of the truck. They look to almost not be touching the ground.
"Goes great in a straight line ... bit weird around corners though."

Observation from another angle: Maybe the basement is just loaded too heavily? Move some gear to the rear of the RV, lose the P rated tires, nice set of air bags and "presto" he's ready to go!

Hope he doesn't take anybody with him when it all comes undone!
That's a disaster waiting to happen!
