I feel sorry for that person with the bolted on hitch, having so little mechanical smarts. That's gonna leave a mark in the soup can thin bumber for sure.

Think it’ll bend the bumper down before it even has a chance to swing sideways?

Or the whole thing will tear off the first dip he goes thru and grounds the way long bolt.

My buddy was towing heavy, and lost control... Just kidding. His employee pushed the truck and chipper, facing down hill, with the Toro Dingo. The truck went over the chocks, down a few hundred feet, across a road, and over the next hill as you see.

Today I saw a truck with 5th wheel trailer loose one of the cars it was towing at about 75 mph on the interstate. Resulted in the truck and trailer hitting a retaining wall and doing a complete 360 across both lanes before stopping across both lanes. Thankfully no other vehicles got tied up in the incident and no injuries but sadly it happened just a split second after my fender got by so I didn’t catch it on my dash cam.
