In 30 years as a Ford tech I've never seen a C clip axle break in normal use, drag racing, yes. Most who drag race use C clip eliminators.

Absolutism...
Just because you haven't does it mean it doesn't happen...
Opposite, is if I say since I've seen several since I started driving
in 1963, does it mean everyone will have it happen...
Mud hen vehicles NOT boulevard dragging. None that I've seen were
towing either. Most were 'cars' and one a pickup
Just take your position and the links...if that kind of usage is known
to break them...how close to that kind of loading is on semi's towing
heavy?
Another analogy is folks saying it does well and lives in racing...therefore
should hold up towing heavy...
Do take that track vehicle and then hook up several tons to it's tail
and then see how long it will last tugging that out on the street
Play the lotto, you have a better chance of hitting than seeing a C-clip axle break under normal use
