My MDT that is longer in WB 188", heavier by maybe double that truck, 11600 sitting there. A GRAWR more than that truck combined at 15500, front is 8K.....
Still more than likely would have ended up in the same situation as the person in the video.
I've has issues towing my 8500 lb equipment trailer with the bobcat on it. When I mistakenly loaded it to the rear with literally NO hitch wt. I've had a 1 ton flatbed with a single axel trailer, loaded with a pallet of sod on the rear start to go, nearly taking out the truck.
A number of years ago, memorial day weekend of 2005 or 2006, a F350 pulling a 5W did something similar north of me in Marysville. trying to go around folks in the upper 60 to low 70 range. He blew up also.
Speed, side wind, coming out from the truck with its bow wave, All contributed to this issue. Possibly along with to little hitch weight. Yeah maybe a hensly or pull right hitch might have helped. But I doubt it.
This was an accident waiting to happen no matter the trailer style or type attached to what ever sized weight of truck for that matter.
