I think this guy needs a WD hitch and a little adjustment..

I wonder how his steering responds going over bumps or driving on rough terrain.

Goes in my "chains dragging" category.

Perhaps we should have a 'towing hall of shame' thread.

Not that these pics are that terrible, seems unsafe to me.. However I'd bet a thread devoted to the subject would turn up all sorts of crazy getups...

If I remember correctly the ford explorers have air bags instead of springs. Looks like the air bags aren't compensating for the tongue weight.

A couple of weeks ago on my way to work there was a traffic jam. It was caused by a Kia Soul flipped on it's side. It was towing a double axle travel trailer. The safety chains were still hooked up but the tongue was off the ball. No WDH that I could see. My phone was in my pocket and I didn't want to cause another problem by trying to take a photo. But I wish I had been able to because it was one of those, "Huh? Seriously?" kind of things.

Yup, pretty common... This just happened to be the one time I was at a light so could safely take a picture..

You should see the rigs heading up to Burning Man or Night in the Country..

Not too odd. Looks like they flipped the axle, however it does seem like perhaps they lifted it as well.

Odd how high it is riding on the trailer axle.
