Only in Houston...
It was more likely, "Hold my crackpipe"!

If the trailer is completely empty, is it really a big deal? I am pretty sure they towed the space shuttle with an F150.,,

ETA: Oh, crap, it was a Toyota...

The tow ratings are more about wheel bearings tire loadings and brakes. Any half ton truck can tow an empty trailer, and much more, powerwise. Transmissions can even handle the weight as long as they dont get hot and your not dumping peak horsepower thru them. For a little while anyways.

I once pulled a 20 plus ton fully loaded tractor trailer, short city type, out of the road up hill into a parking lot after it jack knifed. I used a basic ram tradesman type truck, small v8 or the v6. Just hooked it to the tow hook and pulled it in reverse, the lowest gear. The guys swore it wouldnt work but I knew it would. I wouldnt do it far enough to start heating up components nor dumping full power thru an automatic transmission with that load cause shit will break.


We see 4 cyl jeeps pull fully loaded 18 wheelers thru ice every year.


The issue with this idiot is no breaking on trailer.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Won't have to worry about the old Chevy/Ford/Ram debate much longer. I am sure Biden will be placing huge new truck taxes on these brands so he can open the doors to China who has vowed to crash the American truck market with their pieces of crap that they will sell at rock bottom prices so everyone with a man bun and spandex can run around saying "lookie at my new truckie"

Could This Chinese Pickup Beat Ford Ranger?

Great Wall Motor Company wants to pick off the American pickup. It is the largest SUV and pickup manufacturer in China. With the intro of its three new

Notice how the “news” story didn’t say anything about how he destroyed anyone’s property, wrecked out, or hurt anyone, so I guess it’s a success story.

But, my god man!!!
He offended their sensibilities!!!
If the book says you can't, then you can't! Rules are rules after all.

We actually pulled a 16x80 mobile home several miles with a 3/4 ton pickup. Easy peasy.

Looked to me like it worked pretty well... I'm guessing it wasn't going far.

No doubt, against the law... so I'm hoping nobody got hurt and he didn't get caught
