[QUOTE="4x4dually, post: 1651382, member: 4100"] To be clear, I didn't assume that you jack-knifed your trailer due to improper loading, I simply made the comment that if you improperly load it, and it starts whipping, it can end up just like your picture....in not so many words, maybe I should have been more clear. ;) Most of them folded up like that I've seen are due to braking or slowing while going down hill loaded on dirt/gravel roads. The trailer starts to push, the truck can't do a dang thing about it. My trucks have always had training wheels and that's the biggest reason, not that it is the fix all, but it sure helps in those situations. As far as BP trailers go....I guess it would depend more on the terrain. Around my buddies fields in Indiana which are flat as a dayum table, sure. Around Logan Co, OK....you'll get in a bind so fast your head will spin. LOL OP, the masses have spoken. Graduate to a GN or stay BP. There's a hundred pro and cons to each. First, decide your budget. The rest is all how much convenience you want. [/QUOTE]
