I have a picture but it didn't come through. ๐Ÿ˜ž

I'll try it this time.

Interesting picture! Glad you got it in there.

Looks like maybe you were afraid to put all the pin weight on the back of that truck. The trailers landing legs look like they are still on the ground.

I think you were wise in that decision! :W:B

Hmm, I saw a Ford Explorer towing a 32' toy hauler with 2 quads inside. Anythings possible for those living on the edge.

I have seen and heard of worse Idea's than that. The worst thing that will happen is the truck will most likely fail in some way. Then again you may hit perfect conditions and no wind and all will be fine. Be safe.

It is very simple to put pictures into your post on these forums. To post photos do the following.

1. Upload your photo, one at a time, to this site.

2. Copy the resulting URL.

3. Paste the URL directly into your post with NO modifications. Do not add or subtract anything from the URL.

Your picture will then appear in your post and be properly sized for use on the forums. Do the same for each additional photo.

You just Upload, copy, and paste.
If you would like to practice doing that, just go to this thread that I started in the DIY forum to try out the app.

Yeah, I'm just havin' a little fun! :B That poor old Chevy hardly gets out of the county any more. The back half of the frame where what's left of the bumper mounts is so rusty I welded a plate over the ball mount holes so no one would try to hook anything to it. I really hoped the pix would come through (how do you post pictures?)so no one would take me seriously. It shows the rear tires up under what is left of the rusty fender wells and the landing gear is still on the ground!! :E Sorry if any one took me serious, but I do like the idea of using the Super M! Imagine the conversation in the California campgrounds when I tell them I came all the way from Indiana!!! :R

Maybe a omen ? Even the forum computers think this is a bad idea.
