Where can you see that the trailer brakes failed? Ken

You only need to look at the picture to see that that trailer pushed that Ford SUV around like a toy. maybe the trailer brakes did not fail, maybe they were simply set wrong, either way, that trailer pushed that TV around into a jack knife and it will not do that if the brakes are working as they should.

Had he a dually we would not have this thread. that's my humble opinion.

You are so right!

Hmm, when I had my Dually I didn't detect any magic anti jack knife towing dust...Not sure how having a Dually would have kept this particular event from happening either. Especially since we have 1 picture after the accident with no details.

I assure you a Dually can still jackknife....a crew cab Dually turns slower, handles worse, and possibly would have handle this event much worse than the expedition with its 4 wheel independent suspension. Ever seen a HD truck do evasive maneuvers with a trailer in tow compared to a(n actual) good handling vehicle? The Dually may have been on its top in this instance. At least the ex kept the rig on its wheels.

Just musing...since we are all speculating at this point.

Thanks!
