I don't see any landing gear on the front of that 5th wheel. Does anyone else see it?

I think I'd want a pic of the actual hitch or seeing it driving down the highway before I'd worry about it.
Note the non WDH bumper pull hitch/ball on the back of the P/U.

Mike, I'm thinking the op has posted the best photo to show the worst angle possible sort of like businesses do when they Photoshop.
Not saying the op has Photo-shopped it (I've looked for shadows missing, distortion, etc) but I think the photo is a bit of a set-up.
More photos should and possibly more were taken, so let's see them.

Lol that’s as bad as the rig I passed on the road yesterday; quad cab Tacoma 4x4 pulling about a 29’ TT....the bed was literally rubbing the tires and the rear bumper of the camper was at least a foot and a half higher than the nose. I was hoping he was just taking a buddy’s camper somewhere but with the bikes in the bed I don’t think that was the case. I remember thinking “now that’s a commercial for a WDH”

It looks to me like the front of the truck is angled slightly toward the camera, and the front of the 5ver is angled slightly away from the camera. That makes the back of the truck appear closer to the trailer than it really is. Also, there is a standard hitch ball on the truck which appears to be under the trailer (but I don't think it is). Optical illusion?

I agree with you, I think the op purposely chose a photo to get reactions from us readers. I do not believe he took one photo only but used this one to generate hits. The op seems to have been rather quiet since saying where the rig was seen, hmm.
As some of us have asked, produce more photos.

OMG, he drove in and I snapped a pic. Maybe I should not have shared if you cant handle it the way it is, dont look and say something stupid as I took it a certain way to make it look the worst. I dont need to pretend in life.

Oh, just ignore these "weight police" namby-pambys. Simply keep it slow and you'll be juuuust fine. Oh, I'd avoid any extraneous maneuvers, like...well...turning.
