fivecentcharlieThe craptastic hitch setup (and maybe a lack of brakes) aside, it's not particularly impressive. The truck isn't supporting any weight. And the trailer only weighs in at about 15,000lbs empty. As long as it rolls, a golf cart could pull it.

ferndaleflyerThats what I was thinking. Just think of how much weight racers pull down the highway, many with that same truck.

BuckyI may have seen worse hitches than that on farms. LOL

This is what I read early in the article so I figured 1500... ;
Still pretty crazy!
“Just because you can do a thing, that doesn't mean you should. That's especially true when it comes to towing a 53-foot-long trailer using a standard-issue half-ton pickup.”
