The hell they are. if your trailer is dragging the trucks bumper to the ground, the trailer is not loaded right. why have the weight of the engine on the tongue when it can be over the back side. or balanced properly over the trailers axles.

if your sun roof flew of thats something you should have secured before taking off. aka human fault, or murphy showing his ugly face lol

heres the rules of the road my friend. "you" the "driver" are in charge of this load. if "you" failed to inspect the load and its tie downs and so on, its "your're" fault.

lets say a tractor trailer driver picks up a open trailer with cargo strapped on it already. he hooks up and leaves on his trip with out a "pre trip inspection" something falls off and kills someone, or what ever damage. whos fault is it? yup, the driver, the load is in his control.

scotty i dont need to learn this because i know this. but you never answered my question as to why

Post #6803 is the answer.

it sure is lol and a level trailer tows better, wont sway behind you on the hwy.

Unless the truck was never designed to tow ANYTHING... lol gotta love Army logic.

If you don't know why then you should never tow anything, ever.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I've towed a lot and hauled heavy loads in the bed of pickups a lot. Level, evenly loaded loads haul better and SAFER. When you have the ass of the truck squatted the front of the truck gets light and makes driving unsafe.

When I was a young-un, my dad and brother bought a '69 F100 so they could sell some firewood that they were getting from my uncle. I remember that poor truck being loaded to the roof with firewood, rear bumper dragging on the ground and the headlights aiming for the sky. I road shot-gun on a delivery with my brother and he couldn't keep the damn thing straight; wnadered all over the place. Funny and scary! LOL

i did reply. the only rules of towing a car as far as i know are it being loaded properly weight wise.

As said both above and below this reply, he answered, and answered correctly. There is no rule against loading a car backwards, unless it negatively affected tongue weight.

Sold it.

Aww... Lol

Fixed all the vac leaks on the LeSabre finally. Drove it a bunch. Got a couple wtf looks as I blasted by other drivers.

Something interesting on my 06. Even though I keep my foot at exactly the same throttle position, a second after the 1-2 shift more power is suddenly felt and heard. It's always done that, only at moderate acceleration. Full or light throttle it doesn't happen.

My CEL came on just today on my ride home, haven't checked it yet.
