I have been wintering in then Coachella Valley since 2005. Over that time the amount of 250/2500 lifted trucks with aftermarket tires and wheels have increased. Over the years staying at the Thousand trails in Palm Desert it's been entertaining watching them go by with their headlights pointing to the sky and bouncing down the highway. They are heading to the Desert from the general LA area and back every weekend. I have seen plenty of them lying on their side.

They tow "JUST FINE" until they don't!

The truck in the Vid was out on their maiden voyage with new truck and RV, Truck was a F250 with about 4" lift along with aftermarket tires of an unknown load range, air bags and aftermarket wheels that may or may not meet the load capacity of the OE wheels.

I really don't care what was the cause of the accident was the RV was too much for the truck plain and simple.

So newbies and anyone with an open mind please watch the vid!!!

Looked to me like the left rear wheel failed with the spokes broken. The truck was hit in the right rear and that caused the left rear wheel to fail, then that most likely contributed to the pickup rolling over on the drivers side.
