It's a jeep thing! We will never understand.

My neighbor purchased a huge (easily 27 ft, probably larger) trailer with his wife’s Ford Aerostar (minivan). He was told by the salesman the Aerostar could tow it. I told him that he should not tow it with anything less than a Ford F250HD Supercab with a 460 CID engine, automatic transmission with the trailer tow package like I had. He insisted that the Aerostar would work well, the salesman told him so. I asked him who he should believe, the salesman who made a big commission on the sale, or his neighbor with towing experience. He believed the salesman, because he should know, and took the trailer towed by the Aerostar out for a weekend. Upon their return, his wife told us the guy had to keep a death grip on the steering wheel and fought the trailer the whole time on the road; the trailer pushed the Aerostar all over the road, and it was truly scary. They had to drive super slow to maintain control of the car and trailer. They never took the trailer out again, and sold it two or three years later. The neighbor never admitted that I was right, and avoided me forever afterwards. I was just happy that they did not get killed. The reason I tell this story is to point out that it is quite possible, perhaps probable, that a salesman told these guys in this video that their car would tow quite well, and they chose to believe him.

tail wags the dog? Too light a vehicle for the trailer.

That trailers a 1992 Mallard Sprinter M-18RB with a dry weight of 2,660lbs. (I did some poking around)

No sway control or weight distribution didn't help.

I have a 64. Rebuilt the entire engine dude slipped athumpa cam now the car can't get enough vacuum to run right new brawler carburetor new torque converter rebuilt transmission with shift kit. Can't get enough vacuum cruise o matic transmission any help pleas e. Down on money so gotta make it work. Oh sounds wonderful I'm trying to get close. At least drive all that money I've invested car rides good. When it rides

Had no trailer break controller and a jeep is a terrible tow vehicle.

Did they pull a midget out? 😂

Thats it...warm them plugs nice and slow...love the sound of a ford V8 cold start...That T-Bird sounds great....I have a 1987 Ford 460 in a custom painted E-350 Econoline cutaway RV yes a RV...with a 3"inch single tubing coming off the end of my BlackWidow 250 muffler runnin all the way back behind my right rear dually and a turn down tail pipe... and i love the way it sounds my cold starts and warm up idle just melts my heart every time...lol.

I've had my TJ Wrangler since new in March, 2004. I don't find it particularly sketchy like some say, nor as roll prone as some like to imply. On the other hand, they definitely have towing limitations, moreso with the short wheelbase for the 2 door models. When I towed larger things, I definitely used weight distributing hitches and paid attention to tongue weight, trailer weight, and loading. I never had an issue and even had tires blow out while towing. Having said that, I still prefer hammock or tent for camping for whatever reason.

Jeeps are not designed to tow large camping trailers. Idiots in action video.

*Hey mate, would it be nice to feature your clip in my next episode? Credited of course (watermark and link to your channel)*

Crash and burn!!! 🤣😂😅

I wonder did they have the trailer not loaded very well, weight at the back, will make the trailer sway and carry on.

Badass

Fuk around and find out

Just a scratch

2 door Jeep at max is only to handle 2000lbs. That’s At least double the weight it’s suspension can handle

This guy looked as if he was traveling way too fast.

What doesn't kill you only makes you wiser. He wasn't too wise that day with...A) wrong rig to pull anything B) right foot was just a tad Bit heavier than the left. He's ok & live to make a better choice next time !

Looks like an over priced baldwin filter to me

Sonny Leonard uses moroso oil filters on his 700, 800, 900, 1000 cubic inch mountain engines. They must be superior if used on $100,000 engines .

A true "Comparison" video compares two (2) or more items that are of similar characteristics -- but THIS video does not. These filters are not even remotely similar on price, purpose, or performance. That stupid Coil Spring has been abandoned by all major oil filter makers, including the high-end Amsoil & Royal Purple. Your notion that the Fram's end caps are "cardboard" shows clearly that you are not up-to-date on oil filter construction -- or you would know that some oil filter makers are RETURNING to the Pressed Fiber end caps for two (2) reasons: The adhesive sticks better to the media with the Fiber Caps, AND the Fiber Caps use less energy to produce, which makes the Fiber End Caps more environmentally-friendly. Professional engine builders will tell you that there is NO REASON to put a Racing Oil Filter on a brand-new or freshly-rebuilt engine. What the hell were you thinking !??

This has to be the worst full size vehicle to tow with. It’s a 2 door which makes it a shorter wheel base. You better have a good setup. Anti-Sway, trailer brakes, Weight distribution hitch, good weight distribution in camper.

speedy gonzales

Great that they was able to walk away from this stupidity. I would've played dead from the embarrassment. Most people won't cuss out an unconscious person lol. I would've said i was jeep jacked and forced to drive this crap and the person must have ran off when i flipped over. That way you can call me stupid later 🙄

Hey let's go fishing tailing on the interstate!!! How? We can hook a camper up to my jeep not designed to pull anything, then we can hit 65 or better and BAM! We going to be fish tailing bro!!!

If you're going to tow over capacity, keep it at 45mph or under...... far less chance of trailer sway.

Strange, mustve been unusual winds or something because that jeep should easily be able to tow a massive camper at freeway speeds safely...

The TJ Jeep drivers just needs to buy a longer trailer to avoid this problem. When you have an 90 inch wheel base, you should be pulling nothing less then a 32 ft trailer.

Short wheelbase vehicles are not made for towing!

That little wheelbase Jeep

Anyone notice it was a little man driving a little jeep towing a little trailer🤣🤣🤣

Jeep wranglers don't like to tow anything, they like to be towed though 😕

I thought from the title this was a video about a jeep pulling trailer wrecks which sounds like it could be cool, winch work etc, but instead it’s a video of a jeep towing a camper having an accident.

It's a jeep thing...you wouldn't understand

LOL. what ids...

Trailer sway got em. They were going way to fast and were towing a heavy load

Hi mate, May I use this vid in my next compilation? Credit on screen + link in the description.

What’s the set up your running?

Here In the US u can b any level of dumbAzz u care to b. From stuff like this to trying to work a smartphone, rolling down the interstate eating fries at 85 miles an hour. This guy was probably just getting the ketchup pac out when a robo call set his phone off in his pants. Just a little too much on his plate with the main event starting way too early. I don’t believe this driver had little man syndrome tho otherwise he would have been rockin the F350KingRanch coastal diesel edition. I will say that gives a brand new meaning to “getting off the grid.”

They did this to my friend he was buying a new car they said oh yeah you can tow a trailer that way so he did it and almost wind up the same way

Tongue weight too light again.

Strange, my jeep liberty pulled a 2500 pound boat just fine.

Too much weight on the back end of the trailer.

surprised they didn’t cause a pileup literally just parking on both lanes

warms my heart to see good people helping out.

I have owned my TJ for 17 years and have never had a problem with stability, however given the poor braking power, I have only only tow a boat trailer with kayak and a motorcycle trailer with Harley. It's one thing to risk your own life, but if this had resulted in a fatality, the driver would be facing felony charges if they survived.

Gotta know your towing capacity i usually give 1000 lbs buffer zone just to be on the safe side
