2. you rear-end another vehicle due to not being able to stop

Regarding not being able to stop, anyone towing a trailer should have trailer brakes and a brake controller. The trailer brakes should stop the trailer, even in a Ford F150 towing a 4000 lb trailer, even in a Ford F350 towing a 20,000 lb trailer.
Regarding the Charger not having enough mass, it is a 4300 lb car towing a 3800 lb trailer. What about a 7000 lb F350 towing a 20,000 lb trailer? Does the F350 have enough mass?
Who knows, maybe this guy with the Charger is just a troll, but let's try to keep the discussion logical.
