Too much tail for the dog?
This happened yesterday North bound I-5 thru Mt Vernon, WA. Someone familiar with GM's may be able to tell was it a 1500/2500 ? Those little backhoes are HEAVY along with the trailer.

Cummins,
I doubt more truck would have helped. I have been dang near swung around once with my 12K dump truck pulling a bobcat on my ET with the trailer being around 8K lbs. Too little hitch wt! A singel axel trailer with a pallet of sod on the rear, dang near took out a 1 ton dually pulling it, again, due to too little HW!! BIG twucks do not stop issues like this. THey can get swung, moved by the trailer too!
My pic is not working, as the photo hosting company has gone ALL pay for to show pic like this etc. what a pita!

I agree on the hitch weight from personal experience! Bottom line the guy was towing too much for that truck.
