Remember Clamp on Bumper Tow Bars?

That one's a double winner! An A-frame to mount on the front of the towed car, or, take off the A-frame and clamp that crossbar on the back of the tow vehicle to tow using its ball.

I didn't get a photo because i was driving beside him on a freeway at 70 this morning, but this guy had a landscape trailer with a Kubota BX w/loader and fertilizer spreader on it. It was tied on - one strap from the front axle to the front of the trailer.

I left quick and sure hoped he did not have to stop quick.

Nice trailer, and good thing he was smart enough to put those "Doggles" [a brand-name] on his pup- we have a pair from when we had a convertible and used to go driving with our St. Bernard- he had to wear them, otherwise his eyes got terribly irritated.- and the usual and constant drool was already bad enough without adding eye-splooge.

Awe man! I had everyone else beat until this post lol.

I hauled x6 2x12x16 boards along with x24 2x8x8, box of joist hangers and 8 bags of quick Quick Crete in the bed of a 1999 F150 SuperCab with a 6ft bed.

I had the tailgate up and everything strapped down, it was an hour drive home.

I'm not trying to beat anyone, but...

My B-I-L needed to buy some stockade fencing, and I had the only truck of any kind at all in the family- a 1988 S-10 with extended [but not Crew-] cab and 8 foot bed.

The fencing panels were 8' high by 8' long, and we loaded the truck so full of them [by alternating the way that they faced in pairs so that the cross rails meshed together] there was no space at all left between them and the wheel humps, then packed Quick-crete bags in front of and behind the wheel humps to add support, finally strapping it all together with 2 HF 1.5" ratchet straps- one high and one low.

We put as many people as we could physically fit into the truck cab as ballast- besides my [then 195#] self, my B-I-l had my S-I-L sitting in his lap, my teenage nephew sat on the center console [it had bucket seats], and 2 of my B-I-L's friends both sat on the fold down jump seats in the cab extension.

Despite [or because of] that, I couldn't get it to go over 17 MPH all the way home [by backstreets where ever possible], and even so, the under-steer was so bad that I could barely make the turns necessary to get there.

A couple years later, we put a full sized refrigerator in the back for my other B-I-L, [standing up, of course] well-strapped in, but then couldn't get it to go over 45 MPH [or 50 down hills] on the highway because of the sail effect of the refrig extending approx 2 feet or so above the cab.
