I saw this video posted on social media a couple of days ago. It solidifies my hitch buying decision.

Watching that video I doubt a Hensley or anything else could have prevented that wreck. Sometimes it's impossible to fix stupid.
You can't tell if the vehicle/trailer combo was within spec but by the way the back of the trailer was loaded I suspect the Excursion? was as well - with a fair sized trailer. The semi looked to be driving about the speed limit. The truck/trailer passed him at a pretty fast clip so I suspect they were speeding - maybe excessively. I never saw an indication of brakes. The back door steps were left down for travel. Everything I saw tells me the driver should have never been driving much less pulling a trailer.
