I find it interesting about the tail wagging the dog.
Many on this site think nothing about towing a trailer that is about 4 times the weight of their truck.
But let a SUV tow a trailer that is only about 1.2 times the weight of the SUV and they cry too much weight for the SUV.
True the SUV may not have the required tow rating but when it comes to the tail wagging the dog the SUV is much more capable when towing weights described above.
I am sure if any of the toy haulers on this site were side swiped by a 15,000 lb truck the out come would be similar.
I picked 15,000 because the vehicle that side swiped the trailer in this posting was probably about 1/2 the weight of the trailer involved.
