If this site is all about off-road truck adventures, why is everybody so worked up about my trailer flying into the woods?
We aren't worried about your trailer flying into the woods, though we would hate to see your hard work end up that way.
What we are worried about is, when the trailer seperates from your truck, what is between it and the woods? What else might it encounter enroute to the woods?
Also if you are so luckly that it misses everything on the way to the "woods", the woods isn't always the woods. It could be a lake or swamp, my F-100 actually rescued someone's trailer from a swamp 30 or so years ago. Drove in, hooked up, drove out. It could just as easily be a busy shopping center or playground. Point is trailer couplers already have the potential to fail and separate, why increase that potential by using the coupler outside of design parameters.
Please, lets keep that discussion to your thread and not mess this guy's thread up with it. Or better yet, lets just drop it altogether since you've decided you wouldn't take the advice anyway. I already moved on in your thread when you made that obvious.
