Seriously overloaded
No pictures but our friends were in Alaska for a couple months and heading back to their home in Maine, they stopped by for a few days.
We were talking about TC's in Alaska and they mentioned right off, how many appeared grossly overloaded.
They said that there were a few big dual rear tired pickup trucks that were literally dragging their rear bumpers, loaded up with the kitchen sink...canoe's on the roof, storage containers on the roofs, just loaded for 'bear'.
I'd hate to have them approaching me at night, with their headlights pointing skyward.
I'm amazed (on Alaskan twisty, curvy roads, that there aren't more accidents and equipment failures from overloading.
Amazing to me that people, in general, have no conception of what overloading does to drivetrain components, let alone handling.
Glad I'm not piloting those 'magic busses'.....lol
