Over the years on this forum Reese was note for the hitch involved in a dropped trailer more that any other.
I learned to do a tug test in the 76-79 time frame driving this Titan 90 Chevy class 8 truck. The trailer did not have landing gear, so we blocked it up on oil drums when the tractor had to go in for service, which did not happen often. The aluminum 8500 gal trailer only weighed 10K, tractor weighed 15K. I did all the oil and filter(s) changes myself. The oil refiner is visible behind the stern wheel. It was a bit of a pain to service, however it was serviced a lot less than the engine mounted filter. The 350 8V71 drank a lot of oil. Loved the 13 speed roadranger. The first trip after coupling back up was always scary.
