I could forgive a lot of problems if kept under 35 MPH at all times....under 35mph...

Looking at these pictures I can tell you that this guy has his tractor tied down better than most in Mississippi. I can't tell you how many times I have actually heard people say "The parking brake will be fine if you aren't going very far."

Pulling loaded trailers is serious business. Some folks just don't seem to get that.
In a good bit of planning on my part, my wife totally agrees that my next truck will need to be much more significant because of all the towing I do. Not that my Expedition is a bad truck for what I use it for, but a 3/4 ton Suburban would fit the bill a little better.
Nothing warms my heart more than a 1989 S-10 towing a 30' long travel trailer 70 MPH down the interstate without weight distribution or sway control. I get by him as quickly as possible...or let him stay WAY in front of me.
[A bigger issue is the way he has his ball mount flipped./QUOTE]
I fail to see what the problem is there. I have to do that on my trailer (5" up) and I'm normally over 1000lb tongue load.
BTW from your first post DP I realized you do actually fly a Diamond. I work for a large corpoated flight department as a mechanic.

X2.
If the ball was the other way, the trailer tongue would be practically scraping the pavement with the rear of the F-150 is sagging.
Oh, my mistake. I thought he was saying turning a ball mount over was unsafe. I'm of the mind they are the same rating either way.
