overloaded f150

Went camping this weekend. On the way out of the place yesterday with TT in tow, a lifted F150 comes struggling into the campground with a 27' or so Comfort 5'ver. the rear fenders of the truck were down over the top of the tires. that thing must've been sagging 5".
its a wonder that the state patrol didnt get him. I hate seeing things like that. you know he was doing 40 miles an hour on 101 to get there, holding up traffic, it probably doesnt steer worth a darn, UNSAFE as can be. Dumb.

I saw a similar one a few weeks ago on a trip t MD, it was a Dodge Dakota with probably a 18-20 foot travel trailer. Wasn't lifted at all though, so with the sag from all the wight, it looked like any large bumps would introduce his hitch to the highway, kind of wanted to stop in traffic and tell him to pull over before he hurts somebody.


stupid people...

"Sure I can tow that, I have a truck!!"

I seen a 06 F150 pulling a tri axle about 30ft something 5'ver! He must of had air bags because the truck wasn't sagging all that bad. It looked like the dog from the Grinch that stole Christmas.

Usually got four guys in the front seat, a towable mixer on the bumper and half scoop of sand and concrete bags heading down the road.
Saw one the other day that had wider low profile tires on tryin to do 60 on the freeway.
Makes ya wonder "whatweretheythinkin?"
