That's one slippery ramp. I had no problem recovering my 2000 lb
Sailboat/trailer combo with my 3.0 V6 Ranger truck.


Nothing slippery about it. The back of the truck was floating. One
of my buddies has the same problem with his dual axle aluminum trailer.


It's not floating. Watch part II again.

It's all funny till someone gets an eye poked out, or a kid smashed
under the back wheels. Last year we were considering downgrading our
vehicles for gas price reasons as we do a lot of driving. Did get rid
of the 2x4 pickup but decided to keep the 4x4 anyway. I was
considering downgrading to a Rav4 but once I started towing for the
season I was glad I kept the bigger truck. To the video again, it is
funny but it easily could have gone in a real bad way, fast for that
kid on the front of the trailer.
