Great photos! At least one's gotta be Photoshopped, though. The one of the Dodge dually towing the large Cat on a lowboy is definitely not real. Two off-road pickup tires can't support a 50,000 lb. pin weight, no matter what motor is under the hood.

Incredible! Some of these people, maybe all of them should be in packaging.

It looks like he just backed up to the trailer, because not only is supposed to supporting that much pin weight, it isn't even squatting at all.

Unfortunately, it is generally not these people who dangerously overload we read about, it's those of us who crash while staring in disbelief.
