I suppose this would help some of the half-ton situations where they are within their tow and tongue limits but overweight on their cargo capacity.

I wonder what happens when this contraption bottoms out on bumps larger than 2" . . . ?

LOL yeah, and with only a 165HP v-6 pulling it from what I can tell. Judging by the speed, it must have been wide-open in second gear to pull all of that.

Yeah but at least they put a pillow between the trailer and car as to not scratch the paint when the trailer starts flipping around in space.

That is very sketchy, everyone knows that they should have used all 8 bolt holes in the wheel to connect the ball plate.

That would require taking off the stickers. Then again, I guess you could just paint over the stickers.
