I took me a while to find this old picture, but this was from back in 2010 on I-81 in eastern PA.

Took these a little while back. Looks like this guys truck had a 1500 pound cargo capacity towing a fiver with a 3000 pound pin weight.
He was zipping down the highway at over 70

Of course, the salesman told him he could tow it easily, lol.

That aftermarket exhaust tip gave him more payload!

His exhaust tip was literally 3-4” off the pavement. Lol

Lol. The pictures don’t really capture the true awesomeness of his setup. At first I thought maybe he had a flat on his truck.

Instead of blowing his wad on the stupid looking wheels and that ridiculous oversized exhaust system, he could have put that toward a new truck that has the payload for that trailer. But, that's them Forest River fans for ya. Lol! Contest of let's see who's got the biggest.....

Not to be the naysayer of the group, but that appears to be a "1500 HD" that was available from Chevrolet in the early 2000's. It was a very rare combination that was literally a 3/4 ton crew cab 6.0L. If you zoom in, you will notice the 8 lug bolt pattern on the wheels. If I remember correctly, the dead giveaway for the package was the 8-lug wheels, 6.5' bed (which wasn't yet available on the 1500 series crew cab) and the 2500 style fender flares. A friend of mine here had one.
Not saying that it wasn't overloaded, but that truck isn't what it appears to be on the surface.

Is this really a thing? My limited Google search shows that it's not legal, at least on the East Coast.
Hope he never has to back up. Or go through a toll booth. Or under a security gate, or....
Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

Perfectly legal in Idaho. 70 foot max length. No special license or permit or endorsement. Cannot exceed tow vehicles gross weight capacity.
Most unhook second trailer before attempting to back-up.

We did that with a 43' Beaver, a Silverado Crew cab and a smaller boat. I drove the pickup in the states it was illegal. Idaho?, Oregon don't remember if there were others. Maybe not We came from WA state going to AZ. I wouldn't want to back up towing anything, to easy to disconnect and stay out of places you might not fit. We knew our rig.

Woke up at a downmarket RV park in Louisiana on our way to Florida to lay eyes on a motor home pulling a Bentley convertible. Sweet!

We were driving our Greyhawk yesterday home through a small Texas town, next to a pickup pulling a long flat bed trailer when I just happened to glance over and see a full size refrigerator flop forward, roll over the (thankfully) right side of the trailer as the wind caught both doors, blew them open and then boom, hit the street, broke off both doors and slid off to the shoulder.
DW was overjoyed I had just moved into the left lane, away from this guy!
