this is what happens when you turn too tight

Got the bumper on the corner of the propane bottle tray. Did not take long in winter for a little rust to develop!

I am sure you can find a take off from an Excursion, then yours will be good as new again! Glad there was no more damage.

dang, how tight did ya have to turn to do that!!?...i actually never really looked to see how tight i could turn before i hit something in the process....mine would prob tear up the spring bars before anything else...

that is actually the battery tray - sorry about that.

Anyway, was trying to pull a u-turn and got it to tight. Amazingly the rear of the truck almost missed the fiberglass front cap, just scraped it a little.

Note to self, you cannot turn these things 90 degrees...

Trader 'er in on a 5ver with a Reese Revolution would prevent it from happening again.

Nope,the only way is a (Top mounted Rotary Hitch)= 360 turns! Youroo!!

lol - well neither of those is happening. One of the nice things about driving a 10 year old truck, when stuff happens, you really don't get all that upset. I chalk it up to a learning experience.

Wow....I didn't know that you could do that driving forward. I will have to check out my rig next time when hooked up. Thanks for the warning.

Last year was the first time I've towed a trailer and that was one of the things that made me worry was how sharp can I turn without popping the WD bars out of the cams and also not hitting something
