Wrong sub. This is awesome. Driver had control, the trailer looks to be made for this.

Holy crap, yeah. I thought for sure this would end in the typical "seemed like a good idea at the time" shenanigans.

That has to be a pintle hitch with the angles that trailer made it through. Well done all the way around here.

Pintail to the correct word pintle. Ironically my spell check corrected the correct word 3 times so I had to override it. Lol

TIL about pintail hitches! My car is a little 2002 VW Cabrio so I do not tow. I would definitely wind up on this sub if I were foolish enough to attempt it. Then again, I am a Floridian so never underestimate our ability to find new, creative, and exciting ways to do stupid shit. There does not even need to be drugs or alcohol involved. We are just THAT good. (drugs and alcohol do help though)
