silvrsvt Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Apparently the Super Duty had an overloaded trailer that forced it into the other lane...and the 03 Cobra and 2013+ SHO hit it. Everyone walked away though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonj80 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Probably the biggest problem with these Super Duty trucks being able to tow what they do, the drivers behind the wheel have no clue how to load or drive a trailer with that much weight. I see them all the time time on the freeway going 85+ in the left lane with a full trailer, both private and public. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting to the point where if you drive one of those trucks, whether it's loaded or not, it should be mandatory to have a CDL, or at the very least some kind of certification that you know how to properly load a trailer and tow it safely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can be said for any size trailer. It's amazing the crazy stuff you see on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them all the time time on the freeway going 85+ in the left lane with a full trailer, both private and public. Bingo. I had to move a skid steer trailer and small Kubota loader/backhoe from So Jersey to Boston. So I had Jersey terminal hook on with an F-350 and get it as far as New Haven. New Haven had an F-250 that could handle it. I did not tell supervisor to check it out before someone left with it. If you are familiar at all with I-91 out of New Haven, like four travel lanes. So tongue weight with F-350 dually vs F-250 two different things. Terminal plant guy is driving in morning rush hour and front end gets "loose" and he does a complete 180 in traffic-complete unit facing south in northbound lane!. Other than dirty underwear only damage was one blown tire on trailer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that lucky people don't have accidents to begin with. So every other car on the road at the time other than those three had better luck.

jasonj80 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Also STOP using the term “accidents” they are “crashes”. Accidents are unavoidable, crashes have faults because someone did something that caused damage to someone or something. Not paying attention, loading a trailer to heavy, speeding, running a signal etc. Edited June 23, 2020 by jasonj80 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
