The real story is,
Is it?
For me too many unexplained things come to play here.
When videos are hard to photoshop, there is no chance the same guy with the same TC+ trailer broke 2 trucks in the same way.
It has to be some kind of stunt.
Never underestimate the power of stupidity.
Back in high school, I worked as a mechanic at a landscape nursery. One of the trucks was a new dually with a dump box. Newest truck in the fleet and only dually except for the class 6/7 trucks we had.
Inside of 30k miles, they broke or bent a staggering list of chassis and drivetrain parts using it like it was a 2019 F550 30 years ahead of its time!
They snapped the frame on one side over the rear axle. Had a shop weld it up and reinforce it. About 6 months later snapped the other side of the frame! I copied the fix from the shop and repaired it in house.
I made a good portion of my wages just replacing busted parts on that truck regularly.
If we had cell phone cameras back then, the fail pics of this truck would make bent truck guy here look like an amateur!
There is no doubt stupid can tear up anything. Back in the day I had a F-350 with a small Holmes leased to a tow company, and a old F-750 I used mostly for junking. The tow company called, needed my big truck for a U haul 1 ton. A company had a sale on computer paper, more you bought the cheaper it was. Collage class figured how big box needed to haul the paper, U-Haul rented that size box on F 350. Cross RR tracks, frame broke. Tow driver tried to pick up, broke worse. Tried to winch onto a trailer, trailer bent, and truck broke more. Buy the time I got there police where insisting the street get open. Blue wrench for a few minutes, little truck took cab, I towed the box.
