Could be that is the actual tow vehicle. After all Desi and Lucy towed their 36 ft with a Mercury Monterey convertible.

Shadows look right so probably not photoshopped.

That in no way looks like a 150 to me. It's a 250 or 350srw.

I agree. The fender & door badges and wheel center caps say so as well.

That is a really long trailer. I looked up the Cyclone brand and they make some that are 44' long.

About 1' longer than my Montana. No different than pulling my last 5er at 35' or a 30' TT except you need to make turns a little wider ~ something the guy in the picture learned the hard way.
A small town in OH constantly had the power pole at the main intersection taken out by 18 wheelers until they sunk steel pillars near the road edge. No more pillar damage, but more damage to trailers that did not make the turn wide enough.

I am thinking it is a photo shop pic. If he was to try and continue I think the 5th wheel would tumble over the side pulling the truck with it. I don't think anyone could of made the turn and ended up like that. Road doesn't look wide enough for all of it.

... which is precisely why this is so funny. The driver got himself in quite a predicament (if real).
Nobody has said this ended well...

Now, now! We don't want to upset the thought police by calling people "idiots"! They're "people with a temporary lapse in judgment due to negative influences by the environment" (not THEIR fault, of course!).

It's the dealers fault, they said 'you can tow anything on the lot anywhere you want to go'

It's not his fault either, it was "an act of God", after all, humans are perfect! (HA!)

I believe I saw this rig somewhere on one of the FRF post but this time it was spotted park at LLBean in Freeport, ME this past Tuesday.
