The Hitch Hog Making a Tight RH Turn

[Brothersjo]

If you look closely, you can see the rims are worth more then his truck

[hpjunky70]

That's a sweet set-up.

[Ranger0024]

Only about 20 states allow it most in the west and Texas and Florida and Georgia if I remember correctly.

[IOVMatrix]

Can I have ALL the toys featured??

[taitai907]

Is it legal to tow more than one trailer using a pick-up??

[4strokemike]

is it legal to tandem a trailer in all 50 US states?

[spazracing94]

@4strokemike last I checked it isn't legal in Utah for a truck under 15,000lbs GVR to tow over a certain length without paying a road v and at least having a class C license

[Eurus12]

thast gatta be a bitch backin up into a corner

[LongLiveTheHUMMER]

now lets see you back that monster up on a dead end alleyway!

[jcrawford05]

what about electric brakes on the 2nd trailer

[bestamerica]

'

wow that is a good idea use double hitches,,,

but this front dodge truck will getting hot motor and drink too much gasoline

[Engineer245]

I can testify that Dodge transmissions are bad if you pull heavy loads. the trans on my 3500 broke 3 times pulling my 16k fifthwheel. The 3rd time it took out my rearend also. So, I sold the damn thing and purchased an F350. I know have over 160k on the F350 without one mechanical problem. The Deodge engine is great but they dont have a trans to put behind it. I have seen 3 other dead trans on rv pulling dodges over the last two years and not one dead F250 or F350. Facts are facts.

[neurocytohemotoxic]

@Engineer245 What year is your F-350 and what kind of engine does it have?

[SideShifteronline]

with a side shifter there is no problem making any tight turn. just check out the video. or go to the website at sideshifteronline. com

[dirtydavid26]

Are these for sale at all? I would love to have one!

[chevyblazer454]

that is seet

[AIRSOFTHITMAN88]

is that ligell

[klacklery]

that was about as tight as bree olsens pussy...tight turn my ass

[TransamDude1]

I thought that's illegal to tow two trailers at a time?

[leethehunter]

a new way for rednecks to move!

[maddog5483]

is this leagle?

[FredrikMedia]

You know it's the US when that's considered a tight right turn.

[studpuppy69]

I'd like to see what happens when that Dodge has to hit the brakes, going down an icy hill in the winter, braking on a wet road and handling in the window. It may be a good invention, but really not something I want to see on the road, two doubles driven by some schmuck in a Dodge tail gating, not signaling and oblivious thinking he's the shit. The Hitch Hog does work great when attached to the hitch of the tow vehicle to reduce sag/tongue weight.

[Mattman7342]

@studpuppy69 it would be bad with any truck dumbass

[studpuppy69]

@Mattman7342 yuck yuck listen hill billy, a tractor trailer combination and this combination are two different things. Different suspensions, different weights, ABS and some times stability systems. Your talking about electric brakes that probably don't function worth a damn.

[Mattman7342]

@studpuppy69 i like how u said probably , i was saying if u were in that situation with a chevy, ford , or dodge it would be bad

[supersnot4]

for all you idiots, towing doubles is perfectly safe as long as you have trailer brakes on the front trailer, and the rear if it's heavy enough. fifth wheels are very stable on the highway as it is, and a normal trailer won't change much at all. besides, most new heavy duty trucks are rated to tow much more than they safely can with one trailer.

[blackstang2003]

that thing would be great for pulling a boat and a atv trailer.....how much do those things run for

[s0215497]

too bad dodge cant make a decent trany

[Mattman7342]

@s0215497 2012 new 8 spd auto tranny cant wait its made by zf it will be amazing, high gears better mpg up to 900 ft ibl tourqe stock YAYYY

[RM250D8rzr]

@s0215497 the new 68re has been great for everyone iv talked to with the 6.7. iv hurd gus complaining it wont hole a 215 hp tune over a year of towing. but it wasent built to take high hp tunes

[zjbeast]

@s0215497 Whats wrong with the Allison transmission?

[HitchHog]

Actually not bad. 21000 lbs and some change. The cummins pulls it easy. I rode in that truck cruising at 70mph. Could do so with one finger on the wheel. Im a veteran trucker with 2 million miles experience. I designed the hitch because I knew there was a safer way of double towing. My hitch makes this set of doubles much more safe than the common setup out there. People arent gonna stop double towing or towing too large of a trailer with too small of a vehicle. So might as well make em safe.

[TheGearDriven]

Far to much weight for that little dodge. I do not encourage this kids!

[bestamerica]

'

that is good and legal on the road in all america

[MrDag4wd]

anyone who trys to tow stuff like this should have a class a CDL with a doubles trippels endorsement and would have to pass a DOT inspection. I see too many idiots who cant drive to begin with try to tow and it ends with shitty dangerous driving that pisses me off.

[salamalycoom]

that would be illegal in Australia. We are to dumb to drive something like that lol

[wes92395]

@studpuppy69 I agree I wouldn't want to be towing this or be near it. That would be one wild ride if that 5th wheel came unhooked from the truck.

[RCKID191]

what it do?

[studpuppy69]

I'm sorry to say I wouldn't feel very comfortable next to this or infront of this on the highway. As legal as it may be, how safe is it?

[linfox01]

gosh you americans can get away with anything down here in aussie land they would throw the book at us and put us in the clink lol

[myfeeling4you]

you can clearly see at 0.13 the first trailer is draging the fifth wheel. The right hand tyre is on an angle, it can't be denied as of the weight on the second trailer.

[TheHitchHog]

@myfeeling4you The entire hitch moves around a bit because of the slop built into a reciever hitch. Thats the reason the hogs axle will angle a bit on a turn such as this. The weight of the trailer will naturally want to make the hog roll over when making a tight turn. The slop is magnified since the hog extends the ball coupler 17 inches.

[TheHitchHog]

@myfeeling4you The rear trailer weighs around 6000lbs and it has a 1000lb tongue weight.

[leafedaduffa]

That would be a bitch to back up but it is cool

[watthier55]

Styleee

[urdadddy1]

now thats a fuckin load !!!

[lifteddodge1]

Cummins al the way

[easttowest500]

haw long can a truck and trailer be. I hered 65ft

[TheHitchHog]

Yes for most states 65 feet for rvs. Yes we were around 68-69 here.

[03buck13]

love it! lol nice set up. go dodge and ford!

[pantherxx010]

Nice doubles! but I don't know if that hog thing is legal in california.

[TheHitchHog]

Yes it is, totally legal. Its classified as a converter dolly and becomes part of the trailer. Per DOT rules a converter dolly converts a semi trailer into a full trailer. Same as a semi pulling doubles. A full trailer is a self supporting trailer, a semi is a trailer that has some of it weight resting on another vehicle.

[attadrummer16]

basic D class license? or do you need anything else?

[ryanthescooterguy]

Since I live in Australia, the right to double tow like this is dangerous and also illegal.

[oztindog]

@ryanthescooterguy but we can tow AAB Quads on the highways out west.. thats 4 trailers and a dolly converter and 53.5 meters (not feet) ;)

[BShoulla]

is that leagle?
