. . . only $199.95, or if you ACT NOW get double the capacity for only $399.95!

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