On a recent trip through Wisconsin I saw
1) a new Ford Explorer in the ditch towing a travel trailer (trailer was flipped over)
2) a Volvo XC70 towing a utility trailer filled to the brim swaying severely at anything over 40mph (I honked and waved at him to get off the highway because he was a danger to everyone else).
3) a previous gen Honda Pilot towing a travel trailer and his rear wheels were angled inward at the top (overloaded).
I tow with a V6 truck and am about 1000lbs below my limit when loaded up for camping, but am amazed to see so many overloaded vehicles in one weekend (though honestly I can't say why the Explorer was in the ditch since I didn't see it happen). Stay safe!
