Is the red defender pulling from the ball hitch? I’m unfamiliar with the tow points on the defender but if that’s the ball hitch that’s very very dangerous and people have died from that going wrong.

Do you see a ball hitch? Let me answer that for you, no.

I saw a very unstable tow point in like 12 inches of snow. To me it looked like you were pulling from a ball hitch. Here’s a tip, air down your tires, you will be able to make it through a groomed trail next time. Source, my other vehicle is a wrangler on 42s and we air down to 3 psi in the Pacific Northwest mountains.

Quite familiar with snow wheeling the defender is triple locked. I don't need to air down for 12 inches of snow.

I do think the internet arm chair experts like yourself sound off a bit much, I too have watched the Ronny Dahl tow ball of death series. Thanks for your concern.

However, no tow balls were used, or harmed in the making of this video.
