Saw something similar the other day. Uhaul pulling a TT with a boat behind the TT.

I wonder what his vertical height is now?  U-Haul would not be happy with that rig!

Some of those Uhaul trucks will hardly make it up 6% while empty!
We see them hood up and steaming all the time just out of Denver on I70.

Last year I saw two, one was about halfway up the mountain out of Pendleton Or. the other one was about a mile from the top.
Hoods up and a stream of water running down hill under them.

Would have thought they would have rented a much larger truck. That small one may not have enough power on a level road.
Brakes? Did someone say brakes? I am not getting in front of that disaster waiting to happen.

There's no way that can be legal in any state. Right?

Hey hey Youroo...easy on Lizzard Lick towing. Those guys are a couple miles down the road and I have to say, since they became reality TV stars their equipment is much better than that pic . However, their actions have not improved. But, I think that has something to do with the producers and the script. LOL

Reality TV is just sooo.... real and I bet they jacked their prices to match.
And I blame the bad hairstyles.

Agreed Ford. I know some mutual aquaintances and those kids are "letting people laugh at them all the way to the bank." But, they are a little far out in real life too.

I watch LLT and don't believe all that's shown just like South Beach Towing and Operation Repo.
And the owners haircut
