Ok, that was really interesting and well done. Thanks for the post!

Wish I could have gotten a photo, but last week on my way to work I came upon an rollover in the middle of the freeway that closed 2 lanes. It was a Kia Soul towing a single axle travel trailer, an older one at that, probably 17'. From what I could see no one was hurt, the tongue was off the ball, the chains were still attached, and NO WD hitch. Keeping in mind that a Kia Soul can barely carry 2 people let alone towing something bigger than a small utility trailer.

Excellent video, thanks.
With many TT's being built with light tongue weight, for use with marginal tow vehicles, the problem is real.

While I don't advocate towing right to one's TC, if it's properly setup there is no safety issue. The issue then becomes how much life you are shaving off of the tow vehicle.
