Default SRW towing? Not for me!! *

This was parked at the truckstop near my house; about 300 feet from I-95 this morning.

I'll bet you $10,000 that he wishes he had bought a Dually!

He was towing a steel trailer, about 30 feet long or so. It's a purpose built trailer for delivering carports; so it wasn't very heavy. It probably would have been a lot different with 10,000+ lbs. of towed load behind him.

With the way the rim was all tore up, I bet he had to use his 4WD to limp it off the interstate!

Cmon man, srw trucks are way better and safer than a dually! Lol. Add a little rain or snow into that mix and I think the damage would have been much worse!

It looks like it took the entire outer shell off of the bumper.

Yes Duallys are the way to go!!! Wouldn't want to tow anything bigger the a Sea-do with SRW. Yeah, damage is wierd, Maybe the truck was F$%#ed up before the tire incident.

Looks like the tire blew and fragged into the fender well. Ive seen similar damage before. He just needed some better tires.
