Is This Legal?

On my home from work today and came up along side this guy with a gigantic hook sticking out of the hitch. WTH! Is this even legal? It looks like a hazard to me for sure.

You must be talking the former President, since he was the one that liked to take time off frequently...

Probably works for a crane company. It does look ridiculous! wait till he gets rear ended and it folds the frame under like an accordion.

It's an "off road" "monster truck" hobbyist thing.

Watch Monster Hook in action. Be amazed with this in a closer look.

Doesn't look like it would stick out any further than a lowered tailgate. I don't see a problem with it.


Except one doesn't whack shins on a lowered tailgate.

Would really do a number on grill/radiator heck engine of a car if rear ended

Although size of that HOOK should be obvious.......but must have not been cause it was painted YELLOW (only comes in Black or Chrome)

I think some are confusing it with a pintle hitch, which it's not.
