A couple weeks ago I watched a guy cross the intersection while waiting for a light, he was towing a 19 footer and the trailer hitch lifted off the ball, the chains stopped it but the guy hit the binders and now has the imprint of his bow in his tailgate. The lesson is resist the urge to clamp on the brakes and gradually slow down, when something goes wrong. Also there is a recall on the Dodge Ram Factory recievers, the welds on the side plates crack I think it affects 99 and 00 trucks. Check on it if you have one.
