This is awesome. I wonder how many functioning braking axles were involved in that combo.

Hell Yeah! Around here we call them "In tow Mexicans" because pretty much any POS nightmare rolling West on I-10 has "In Tow" in blue painters tape on the back glass and it seconds away from complete death.

I'd guess all 4 corners on the GMC, the left front and right rear, one corner out due to no line and the other leaking cylinder, and probably none on the trailer

I saw something similar, Chihuahua plates on the running vehicle, and garden hose between the 2

25 rubber stall mats supposedly 100 lbs a piece, I unloaded them by hand, and I believe they weigh that much, still had 3 inches off the bumpstops

I honestly have no clue how it towed I was lucky enough to not set that on the road. But I can only guess that was the only way they could load the trailer without crushing the truck.

I figured that much I'm sure they couldn't get it up over 45 with out it swaying back and forth. It is for sure one dumb load

I bet there's still plenty of pin weight there. Total weight and stopping it is a whole other ball game but I would expect epic handling issues.

Just watch "Shippers War" on the TV if you want to see BDL. The other night the hippey dude tried to tow a 9000lb bread van with a beat to hell 7k car hauler... didn't make it too far, what a surprise.

to add the insult to the show, I think the enclosed trailer that kiddo with a worn out work van, is a BDL, even if it's empty

I'm looking at this on my phone do its kinda hard to tell. But I'm sure the truck has plenty of pin weight with the big truck all the way against the neck and the gap between the tires/fender on the Dodge. It LOOKS like the trailer is set up with the larger 14k+ axles by the looks of the lug pattern on the wheels. Doubt he's overweight by DOT standards. Hope it paid well, as that large of a heavy windsail would suck to haul with just a 1 ton.
