Saw a massive 5 wheel being towed yesterday on I95 in southern mass by a tundra. It looked scary. My wife was the one to notice and said that does not look safe.
It probably wasn't larger than the space shuttle!!! :D
Many folks may not be aware, but the Shuttle was never moved by the Tundra. The dollies underneath the Shuttle are self-propelled units. The truck in front, be it a big rig, tundra, kid on a bicycle etc., does nothing but steer the tow bar, and the dollies follow the tow bar for directional input. Any load that's over 100,000 pounds needing to be moved on any road will use two semis, one pulling, and one pushing. The Shuttle by itself weighs 400,000 pounds.
