I saw a few of these types of people on the road this summer in the mountains and I give them I wide margin. I know those tow vehicles cannot properly handle a panic brake or abrupt lane change without things ending badly and don't even get me started about them trying to climb a hill, allot of them were down to 30 mph and 6,000 rpm. Another thing to consider: are these people running at least D rated tires for towing? How about heavy duty shocks to handle the sway and bounce? Unibody frames and towing a 7,400# trailer?
It always amazes me how people think its alright to overload their tow vehicle (by a factor of more than 2X in this case), then wonder what went wrong when a panic brake or wind gust situation pops up and it all ends badly. To me, it appears they do not care that much for their family to put them in that situation, what I'm more concerned about are all the others on the road whom they are putting in harms way (including me).
I am all for going out and enjoying the outdoors, but people, please ante up and get a proper tow vehicle. If not for your safety, please do it for mine.
Just my unasked for 2 cents.
