    Sad day to see that happen to anyone. I see people hauling unsafely all the time, it worries me, I've seen the damage it can do. The guy- quite honestly- is lucky that the trailer didn't take the Lincoln with it and he rolled it. So +1 on his "good luck" chart for sure.

    Point #2: Speaking of Ford Explorer's-- Did you know Uhaul won't even let you rent a 4X8 trailer if you tell them it is to be hooked up to a Ford Explorer- no matter what hitch you have, no matter your towing capacity, no matter if you have a 10,000 lb ball.. they will outright refuse to allow you to haul their trailers with a Ford Explorer UNLESS it is a 2012 or newer now. Apparently the issue can be traced all the way back to the Firestone tire debacle that tarnished the Explorer's good name in the late 1990s. (Learn something new every day dont'cha?)

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
