- Claude_BExplorerThanks but it's not this one either. On this video, the guy is going at no more than 20 mph and the strong side wind flip the TT. The one I'm looking for, the guy was driving at +/- 60-65 mph and he try to shift lane rapidly to avoid something on the road. I made a lot of research on Youtube but I can't find it.
- wandering1ExplorerLooks like standard TT fishtailing.

applying throttle 'depends' on the situation...
If slippery, then no way and do NOT change the throttle settings in either direction
But always apply the trailer brakes, even when slippery. Key it to have the
trailer drag the TV 'slightly' and so dependent on the boost level
Human nature is to apply the TV brakes...which most times is NOT what should
be done
The truth of the matter, is that many can't react correctly with just the TV, let alone with the TV and a trailer in tow.
When towing I become a more cautions more defensive driver, I tend to be cautious and defensive anyway, just more with close to 20,000# in my hands. - jerem0621Explorer II
- _40FanExplorerI know the video you are talking about. The filmer was back quite a bit.
I want to say the video was from a news station. - rhagfoExplorer III

Maybe this one?
The amazing thing in that video is the number of drivers still passing the out of control TV and TT!!! - BurbManExplorer IIWhat's amazing from both of the dashcam videos showing the Excursions and their trailers, watch the timers in the videos....from the time when the TT just starts to wiggle to the time it's upside down is ONLY 7 to 8 SECONDS. The TT only swings back and forth 3 or 4 times before it's ready to roll over. Just a reminder to stay alert and take action at the first sign of any sway...you only have a few seconds to get things back under control or else...
- Claude_BExplorerYes ! That's the one !
Thank you ! - BarneySExplorer IIISince the OP found his answer, I am going to close this one.
