Just how powerful are they?
Sorry I didn't capture a picture, but I didn't want to mess with my phone while on the highway. While driving to a campground recently, I was passed by a Class A towing a long bed Chevy Silverado 2...

If you know so much what,s the misinformation? Iam wanting to know and learn.I want to tow a 28 ft trailer to california but was told not to (over 65 ft) ?? yet texan says he triple tows 74 feet all over the country??
California has a 65' foot limit, however, I have seen rigs that were obviously longer. Does that make it legal? No, it just means that a law enforcement officer who cares to enforce that particular law hasn't stopped them. But get in a serious accident and they will be checking all those things.
California does have a 65'length limit if you are registered in California, BUT! my understanding is that if you come from a state that does not have that law, and you come into the state pulling a long trailer with your coach that they will not give you a ticket.
You can also tow three long if there is a fifth wheel involved in the threesome. Truck, fifth wheel trailer and boat.
Like already mentioned, there are some laws that have no reciprocity between states. Size and weight limits being one as well as what you can and can't tow. California's double towing law used to say the first trailer had to be a 5th wheel and the second could only be a boat on a trailer. I'm not sure what it says now, but I'm pretty sure the second trailer being a boat no longer applies. I had heard stories of CHP stopping people who were not in compliance from out of state and making them drop off one trailer while taking the other to their destination and coming back for the one they left.
