Towing practice for my Highboy

Well I finished fabbing the hitch for the truck and decided to take the truck out for a test. So the test subject for the load was my Chevy.

So here's the hitch







And the test(some might not say this is a test)

Looks like it sticks out fairly far. I imagine when yoi mount the bumper it'll look better.

Practice? You mean a Ford towing a Chevy isn't normal?

It look better once the bumper is on. That Chevy is my daily so it hardly ever gets towed.
