Anybody wanna take bets on how long that transmission lasts?
Update: this is what Phil is referring too, my two trailers…
Something on the front of the Airstream doesn’t look quite right, it looks like a roll-out awning in a crazy position. Did it break off or are they just hauling it differently?
I notice a little bit of sway, I sure hope they have load levelers and/or anti-sway bars on the rigs…
They didn’t have sway bars on the back two trailers. What fucking idiots! I am sure that is illegal by pulling three trailers. You need a double/triples endorsement on your Class A license to tow three trailers. I am sure a commercial enforcement officer or a HP trooper would pull that over in a Kansas microsecond! I am sure it has far exceeded the GVWR for that truck and I didn’t see electric brakes on the two back trailers. Even I had installed electric brakes on my 5X8 cargo trailer when I towed it behind my camper trailer. Another thing I noticed after watching it a second time, the boat trailer appears to be hitched to the ATV! Not the utility trailer…
You noted that correctly, C, the boat is hooked to the atv trailer. I will guesstimate the pulled weight is between 13K and 15K, so there’s a rolling accident waiting to happen.
Igor, looks like the awning became a delete option at some point.
Is that a 1 inch, 500 lb tie down strap holding the side x side/boat to the trailer?
I’ve seen and done some sketchy hauling in my 30+ years of tree service and 5 years of scrapping, but that’s a real wowser!
Is that even legal?

Heading out for the weekend to get away from it all, but he is taking it all with him.
Yes, I assumed the gender of the driver.
He’s in flat country, so long as he keeps it at under 60 he will probably make it. Now if it was that climb from Phoenix to Flagstaff – no chance i hell and I am pretty confident nothing past the Airstream has brakes and maybe not even that.
Au contraire.
I have personally seen Cederq towing ten trailers, weaving and swaying across four lane highways at 140 KPH. Me and the other tards ride in the caboose and play fun games, cook and try to eat ice cream while rolling about like dice in a cup. Last time he was up in Canada he ran JL and 7 Mounties off the road without slowing down a bit!
He is a driving savante – and his skills are the stuff of legends.
What’s a little destruction of a transmission when you got places to go!
I had an Expedition (its an F150 under the SUV body) that was an NBX model–the heavy duty tow package. Everything oversize; radiator, tranny cooler, brakes, alternator. EXCEPT the damned transmission! My trailer was well within the owners manual weight limits, and still burned out the tranny. I moved up to an F250 with no further problems related to towing.
I drive a company truck, a 2018 Silverado. In the last year, the company has lost five 2018-2021 Silverados, all to transmission failure, and all between 165 and 180k miles. My last truck was a 2019, which died at 167k. The present one just hit 164k. It’s starting to have problems.
I wouldn’t give the one in the video a long future.
T Budd, the truck you see in my picture is a 2000 Chevy one ton with 288,000 miles on it and I have the original engine, the big 4L80-E transmission that I have fluid replaced(not flushed) with a new filter every 60,000 miles and have never had a problem. Transmission techs say the fluid(always use synthetic) looks brand new.
