Trailer that big, ya need a Burb....at least a half ton one but better with a three on quarter ton. 2500 Burb would barely know that trailer is back there.

Looks scary huh?

Here's my daily truck update. Massive tear down is underway.

Looks scary huh?

Yup, especially without a weight distributing hitch! I remember when I was a kid, we had a 23' two axle Holiday travel trailer that we pulled with Dad's 75 Sierra Classic. Many times that WD hitch saved our butts. It's so easy in a wind, or if the pavement suddenly gets rough, for that trailer to get your handling"loose" and that usually doesn't end well.

Years ago, I was sleeping in back of bosses van, I woke up to van going out of control towing a trailer loaded heavy with tools. He finally got it under control but first chance he installed a weight distributing hitch. Never had an issue after that.

Passed this guy on the highway, squatting in the left hand lane, then he caught up with us, when we stopped at Hardees..

He was working the Tahoe hard, and pissing everybody off, for not moving over.

Sidewall squirm shouldn't have been the issue.

He'll be visiting the nearest transmission shop soon...

Or,

He'll join this forum asking why his truck lost 3rd gear, describing it in longest run-on sentence known to man kind!

The trailer had the brackets for a WD, but he either didn't have, or not enough sense to use it.

Probably the latter, looking at the poor Tahoe.....

I wonder what those wheels are rated at.

That was the first thing that caught me eye as well.

I also have to wonder if he ever changed the diff ratio to suit the large diameter tires or is he letting that poor transmission take up all the extra loading?
