Asian and Indian owned now. As a note..it is still unknown the metal content of the crankshafts Chrysler built for the Cunningham racing cars...I think they never had a low end failure in these engines....but then Chrysler never had a Saturn 5 rocker booster fail either...

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Accident waiting to happen.... I assure you that U-haul has no clue this was being pulled by their truck... While multi vehicle tow is allowed to x length is many state...I am not sure the method of attachment of the truck to the trailer and then towing a rig behind that is an acceptable method...definitely a rig you do not follow and pass quickly if possible.

Merle Coggins Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 People do all sorts of stupid things when it comes to towing. They have no concept of the forces generated. 1 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 while the following link is not an all inclusive guideline..it does cover areas of consideration for those seeking to triple tow...and there is not as I see reciprocity from registering states that cross the border of the other....something that could get you in deep trouble just as quick..however the insight provided may help you know what to ask up front when planning such an adventure.. https://rv-roadtrips.thefuntimesguide.com/2009/07/triple_towing.php Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Posted January 7, 2016 I once knew a guy in California who bought 2 new horse trailers in Texas. He planned to tow them back to California in tandem behind his pickup truck. One of the states he crossed in his return trip (I think it was Arizona) had laws about tandem pulls. He had to drop one trailer at the state line, drive several hundred miles across the state pulling the single trailer. Once across the state he dropped the trailer he was pulling and returned back across the state to retrieve the other trailer. 1 Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 nice Don, I would guess that is a word to the wise for the hybrid owner not to buy on that end of the street... wonder the frequency for turn around there.. Quote
