Check your hitch setup...

An SUV towing a 4x6 utility trailer became unattached from the SUV on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge last week.

3 died in the resulting pileup.

It happens, and you can bet the whole setup on the SUV/trailer is under HIGH scrutiny. There is a long hard road ahead for this SUV driver and his insurance company. You know our 'sue happy' society is going to go to town on this one. Towing is not to be taken lightly.

GVWR baby...plus making sure your gear is in top working order. My trailer comes before my boat when competing for my discretionary income.

Sucks for the 3 people that lost their life due to someone's carelessness.
