All of us have our momentary lapses...but fiver owners especially will likely best appreciate this "oops"!

Obvious case of TAIL WAGGING THE DOG here. That trailer probably weighs in excess of 80,000 lbs and the tow vehicle probably only weighs 15,000 lbs.

Its not safe in a half ton or a class 8 to have a trailer outweigh your truck... you can only safely do that with a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.

Forgive me, I don't know how to find the sarcasm font.
