*slightly over GVWR Hauling?*

Friend took this and sent it to me.. I can't even begin to wonder how this works

Throw some bags of Sackrete on the front fenders to allow yourself to steer and your good.

Bonus points if the wife & kids are still in the car.

wish we could do that up north...

Just hit the brakes if you want to steer.

I used to work at a place that had a gator 4x6 or whatever. It was tweaked and the middle wheels were lowest, so with any load into the bed it displayed that behavior. Very very difficult to get used to.

Maybe its a 6.9 IDI...boat anchor over the front axle.

Ill see your truck and raise you a van.

Man, I thought I had made some questionable loading decisions in my life, not even in the same galaxy as those guys. Thanks for making me feel smarter today.

Let's see if this GIF comes through

You're good, just need to remove the "v" from the end since the board doesn't understand files with gifv extensions, only files with gif extensions.

I don't see blatantly overloaded rigs very often, but it's terrifyingly common to see a small utility trailer with stuff on it all the way at the back, strapped to the ramp / gate and very little or even negative tongue weight. I've seen a few where the rear of the tow rig is clearly being lifted up by the trailer. How these morons don't die, I have no idea.

I don't get it. What's the big deal? You mean that's not normal??

(South GA- I see comparable stuff almost every single day).

Where's that greenish Civic (or other small import) with the lift of plywood on the roof? That one's been on the 'net for a decade.

Edit: classicJackets found it, wasn't greenish and wasn't a Civic but that's the one, good work!

Here's the Jetta... If Google is to be believed, there's also 10 bags of concrete in the trunk..

Can this become a thread of videos/pics of overloaded trailers and death wobble?

No drivetrain in the truck and its going to the shredder I see minimal issues with it.

I don't know how to post a video from Twitter here, but one of the British accounts I follow posted a video of an old Seat with 2 cubes of bricks in it limping down the road a month or so ago. maybe it's on YouTube or giphy but I haven't found it yet

Don't forget this old chestnut......

That's a good demonstration.

"Best truck I ever had."

I was behind a pickup truck heading down the interstate, with a load of pallets just above below the top of the cab. "Securing" the load was a cinder block perched on top. I will say that no one was tailgating them...
