Ok a 10,000 lb trailer towed by a 6,000 lb TV.
Also from measurements in accident video I estimate the trailer was about 30 feet long.
They are also saying not enough TV.
I'll agree that it's 30 feet after putting it in Paint and measuring the combo. I don't know what model it is but I took the first Jayco Flight bunkhouse I found about 30 feet long and its GVWR is about 7,000 pounds. I'm seeing the Ford Explorer (if that was an Explorer) rated at 2,000 to 5,000 pounds towing capacity, and the Ford F150 rated at 7,000 to 12,000 pounds. I'd go with the F150 and I still think he didn't have enough tow vehicle and that was a main contributor to his loss of control.
Correction: Another poster said it is a Ford Expedition which has a towing capacity of 6,600 pounds. I still think that's not enough and a contributing factor to the loss of control.
