For what is is worth no pics because I was driving. happened about 2 weeks ago
Picture this, crusing west on I 64 in KY from Lexington to Louisville I come up on a nice DRV Mobile Suite triple axle 5er doing about 50 MPH. Traffic is flowing bout 65-70 MPH (this person was holding up loaded tractor trailers basically being a hazard to the rest of the traffic.around him). Its my turn to pass and I finally see what the tow vehicle is........ Any guesses????
3/4 Ton SRW LB CC. Looked like it was riding on the frame suspension fully compressed.
It doesn't mater what brand of truck it was because it was an accident waiting to happen. I got away from them as quick as I could.

I know it can't be in Maryland because it would never get past the small pot holes!

That poor truck is going, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."
Now seriously, what was he thinking? If the refrigerator is on that could mess up the coils because the trailer doesn't look level. Horrors!

Probably uses a new set of rear tires every other week! But his fronts never wear out!

I think you have this wrong. He wasn't wrecking, he was parking!

You got to be Kidding

That rig shouldnt even be on the highway. You would think the cops would pull
him over and site him for being a hazard. Very scary... IG

Where does the engine play a role in this picture?

@Claudius Did you not read all the comments? Someone mentioned it being a ecoboost (being sarcastic) Most 3.5EB owners say I could pull that with no problem.

I think their are morons towing on both sides of the Ford, Chevy, Ram truck debate.
I love my 14` 3.5TT Boost and tow a 9k dry 38' Outback....no problem.
But who in their right mind would even consider hooking a 1/2 ton to a 10-12k++...40'er 5th wheel no less?
