Please post a list of the roads you regularly drive with that thing attached - I just want to keep a couple of states AWAY from you!

The great thing about that design is that you could pull a short utility trailer on the ball hitch at the same time. (Once you get rid of the prototype 4x4 support on the hitch that is, I'm sure it's only temporary and won't be present on the 'production' version).

Claims he's in Florida, but the mountains in the background give it away! I think it's a vast Utah wing conspiracy designed to make us real Floridians look like idiots.

Heck, every true Floridian knows you don't pull a 5th wheel with an SUV. The wheelbase is too short. You gotta get a station wagon for a job like that!
