S-10, towing 20 ft gooseneck!!

Yesterday, while I was in Showlow, I saw a nasty sight! This S-10, towing a heavy duty, homemade, tandem axle gooseneck trailer, with some junk on it. That in itself was bad, however when he passed by me I saw that the hitch was hooked to the bumper! The power cord was just hanging and the hitch was on the right side hole in the bumper itself. It wouldn't surprise me if the ball was only 2" also. That's one of the reasons we get static when we haul heavy

His bumper was about 10" off the ground and front almost air born.

"NICK"
