I joined a Ford Explorers group ( which I’m probably going to leave soon; they talk about street racing and other BS a lot) and this was one of the first pictures to greet me:

The owner was proud to be using his Sploder for truck stuff, but....

Balanced that load like a pro.

Is that tote full? Those are ~317 gallon totes, and if that’s full of water that’s ~2600 lbs, great idea to put it behind the axle.

If you have a negative tongue weight it actually increases your payload instead of decreasing it! \s

Also, are these people street racing their Explorers or talking about other cars they own and street race? I mean it’s not chill at all either way but I have this comical image of some underground street racing league comprised entirely of various generations of Ford Explorers.

me thinks anyone that loads a trailer like that is also the kind of person that would unhitch it whilst standing over the bar one leg on each side

at least once

Some lessons are only learned empirically.

Vehicle selection alone should tell you this person has very poor decision making skills. I guess our only hope is that this guy hasn’t bred yet.

I fee l like this is exactly the kind of joke picture that I would tak e, right before I had finished sliding the tote forward and strapping it down, or before loading the rest of whatever I needed to haul on the front of the trailer to balance it out .

NEGATIVE PAYLOAD!  Just think of all the money we’ll save on gas!

And you wonder why U-Haul didn’t trust Explorer owners for 15+ years.  You thought it was Firestone all along didn’t you?

They race their Explorers, believe it or not. At least a few of them do. There’s a video of one beating a stock V6 Mustang.

I guess no matter how strange of a corner of the car enthusiast community Oppo is there is always a stranger one.

This sounds like a Clarkson solution to climate change.

Everyone just drive around with a trailer with a load that weighs as much as your car behind the axle! Every car is now weightless and takes no gas at all to move!
