too much truck or not enough trailer?
My wife and I thought this was interesting. Would look a little weird going down the interstate.

Last summer I was at a gas station and a lady pulled in with a TT that had the tongue almost dragging on the ground. She had a 3" drop hitch and a truck showing serious signs of way too much tongue weight. I offered her the advise that she would be towing a lot better it she turned the insert over to raise the tongue of the TT. She looked at me like I was probably the stupidest person she ever met and exclaimed in a very loud voice-"If I turned the hitch over, the ball would be on the bottom of the hitch. Do you think I am some kind of idiot!!" She then go back in her truck and left.
Another customer came over to me and said that if would have been recording my conversation with her, she and I would both be stars of the internet. Be bought me a cup of coffee and we sat at a picnic table for 10 minutes talking about the idiots that we have met.
Hahaha. I ran into one like that traveling with my niece and her husband. The rental was delivered to the site and setup. Dry nice. At the end of the trip the lady came in her 1/2 ton Chevy and backed up to the 31’ trailer. She put the trailer in the ball, Completely raised the tongue jack and then put the torsion bars on. Of course they did absolutely no good. She had about three inches of ground clearance and her front tires were almost dangling in the air. When I tried to show her a better way she informed me her husband told her to do it this way and he was very experienced and knowledgeable of these things. We just shook our heads, oook, and told her good luck and have a nice ride home.
