Right size truck ???
I kind of think he may have needed a larger tow vehicle. A Nash is heavy to begin with and then 30' ??? Yesterday near home

I don't nitpick weights terribly. If the trailer is within the rated specs for the truck then it should pull the load.
But.... C'mon.....seriously?!?!? The guy was pulling a 30' TT with a Taco? A sub-1/2 ton truck pulling a TT that borders on the 1/2T - 3/4T weight range? I don't think this should be a surprise to anyone. I just spent the last 2 weeks in the Rockies. There are crosswinds out there...lot's of them, and often very strong. It's very fortunate that this guy didn't take out someone else in his huge mistake.

In the right conditions it would have done the same thing to a 1/2 - 3/4- or 1 ton truck. The moral of the story is you have to drive the equipment you have to the conditions you are in.....period.
