Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Hard to see but he must have a special hitch on the Suburban. Trailer tongue looks to be almost a foot higher than the truck receiver.
My PJ 14K tilt bed has a heavy tongue weight of just under 1200 lb. and my axles are located similar to the one pictured. The entire trailer weight estimate is 4000 lb. according to the PJ specs.

More than likely just a drop hitch or one of the adjustable hitches flipped over.

The hitch receivers on those newer Suburbans sit between the frame rails and come through the bumper. The traditional hitch on a pickup comes out under the bumper (8-10 inches below the suburban height.

Is that towing truck a red chevy? Or Dodge? HArd to tell from my angle..

My vote is the red truck is a 2wd Tacoma. The towing truck is the blue semi on the left mostly hidden by the grey Durango

I'm pretty sure this is what it is although the back fenders are a little different. We may never know for sure without a better picture. It seems we all agree it isn't the tow vehicle.

Pallet of concrete pavers, thought he was going to snap the tongue, tires were touching fenders.

How much do you think those pavers weigh? I guessed the math and it looks like a shocking amount for such a lightweight trailer.

How much do you think those pavers weigh? I guessed the math and it looks like a shocking amount for such a lightweight trailer.

I calculated an estimate of a little over two tons. Way overloaded.

Assumed 3.5 ft x 3.5 ft x 2.9 ft tall, and concrete pavers same as gravel at 3,000 lbs / cu yd.


On the other hand for three years now I've gotten away with 2600 lbs (starting weight) on a 900 lb rated HF trailer - and that after it sat unused in a field for a decade or so, rusted bearings etc - but I don't need a highway safety margin in my application.

That guy should be fine for a slow cautious trip home with no traffic. If he doesn't pop a tire.
