Bet it looks better when he retracts the rear stabilizer jacks that are putting more weight on the front than normal.


The rear stabilizer jacks are not even touching the ground.

I agree. I can't believe he wasn't pulled over. That is about as bad as I have seen.


Pulled over for what?

Have the weight police been deputized?

I certainly wasn't trying to win, but when I saw this one I just couldn't believe it. Then 2 hours later I saw them pull in to the campground where I was hosting. That is where I found out where they came from.

I know I don't do everything right all the time, but......Enuf said.

Well, that Open Range won't have any sway issues from being too light on the tongue.

There are times that I want to be able to break camp quickly and to be level I need the nose of the TT down, but don't want to unhook.
There are several tricks that can make my Truck look like that... But I can assure you, I have enough truck. Weight in the bed for one. loosining the WD bars, and my favorite, digging some holes for the back tires. sometimes I even dig a hole for the tounge jack foot I have used all of these tricks, even all at once depending on the situation.
So this pic really means nothing

The WD bars were hooked up. Maybe he needed to tweak things. The Tundra is as good as any other 150/1500 series truck when it comes to towing. The brand is irrelevant here.
