      I had a S-15 Jimmy/Blazer and wouldn't tow anything with it. I wonder what engine that one has? If it is the 2.8L V6 I doubt that it could pull it. The 2.8 was a dog engine with any kind of load. Although mine went for 375K mile it did wasn't a lot of fun in the hills with a load. Having the kids race bikes on the roof would cause it to come out of Cruise Control on the freeway overpasses that had a rise. The guy in the picture is a complete Idiot.

          I would suppose all the riders would have to "lean" into the turn.

              Why's he parked? Was he pulled over for reckless endangerment or attempted murder?

              He went to alot of trouble to completely disregard the safety of others.

                I'm guessing with his tailgate down, he was nearly overcome from exhaust
                fumes and had to pull over. Or his car died.

                    I've seen this one before but didn't save it. This time I did.

                        With that big of a load and that little truck, I'd want him way, way back in my rearview mirror too.

                          Surprised someone hasn't pointed out the obvious solution to this guy's problem. He needs to move the CG of the trailer attachment up in between the axles of the tow vehicle so I would get rid of that gooseneck arrangement and put a kingpin right up under the overhang of the trailer and mount a 5th wheel hitch to the roof. Now the roof may need a bit of reinforcing....

                            And who would sit inside after he finished the new setup? Remember, he did the original one! I'm guessing welding not one his strong points.

                              What???

                              I can't believe it... what was that person thinking... ah... he wasn't. I hope they didn't travel much... no way the cops will let them cross the country with that setup.... how is he steering? May he should install some seats on his hood... so the weight of the passengers will bring the front of the car down.
                              What's next?... replacing the cabin of an 18 wheelers with his car???
