Wow, that would have been a fun commercial.
If I put some numbers in for this SUV you would need to hold almost 3,000 pounds in the air - tongue plus half vehicle. The mechanical disadvantage on the bars would be in the order of 3 to one. With a short trailer it still seems you need like 9,000# worth of WD bars. That's a lot of twisting on that 2" hitch, and of course things would get worse if you actually moved. Maybe the hitch would last or maybe I miss something in that calculation ..... but I would not want to be using that setup to work under the car ;-)
Is this the commercial you refer to?
Yea, thats part of it. I think I first saw it in Popular Mechanics.
