A truck with a lot of horsepower helps, but most of it is simply a level road and the physics of inertia. Modern vehicles are pretty aerodynamic and have high gears, so it takes roughly the same engine power to accelerate up to 80mph from 60, as it did to get to 60 from 40.

At 110 KPH or 68 MPH speed most likely was not the major contributor to the crash. The speed didn't help any in that it reduced the amount of reaction time available to control the problem. Having towed many trailers, with pickup's, where the tail outweighed the dog by as much as 2 to 1 the setup and balance is the most important consideration. Gooseneck hitches are more stable than 5th wheel hitches as the 5th wheel hitch tends to be a foot or so higher than the attachment point which changes the center of gravity. Bumper pull or receiver hitches have a lower center of gravity than the bed hitches, the problem is that they are connected 4-5 feet behind the rear axle which affects the balance and sway more than a bed mounted hitch which tends to be dead on or 1-2 inches off of the center of the rear axle. Trailers should be loaded with 60% of the weight forward of the trailer axle(s) and 40% behind the rear axle(s). The tongue weight should be between 10-15% of the trailer gross weight. Example if the trailer weighs 1000 pounds gross then the tongue weight should be between 100 and 150 pounds at the hitch. Any more can effect the stability of the load and put too much weight on the rear axle. Any less will effect the stability of the load being towed leading to fishtailing or more appropriately, death wobble, leading to a jackknife of the trailer catching up with the tow vehicle. Trailers should have trailer tires which are designed differently than car or truck tires. Trailer tires are designed to roll straight ahead, they will turn but are not designed to. Car and truck tires are designed to be more responsive so that they turn better and can respond to avoiding objects quicker than having a tire that just wants to go straight ahead. The truck and trailer in question looked to be fairly level as the truck went by. That could have been one of two general things, ether the load was fairly balanced or the trailer was loaded heaver in the back than in the front which unloaded the rear axle of the pulling truck. After the truck passed you could see that there was a load attached to the back of the trailer. That is a bad place to add weight as it would tend to lift weight off of the front of the trailer reducing tongue weight at the hitch unless counter balanced by weight placed in the front. Most people can relate to the teeter totter example. In a perfect teeter totter both sides would be equally of of the ground when not in use. If you place a 100 pound kid on one side then that side goes down to the ground and the other side goes up in to the air. If you then put a 200 pound adult on the other end then that end would go down and the kid would rise into the air. If there were 2 kids that each weighed 100 pounds on each end then the teeter totter would balance out level. When loading out a trailer the more weight in the back makes the front end come up and the more weight in the front makes the back lighter. The weight in a trailer centers around the pivot point, in a single axle trailer that would be in the center of the wheel. In a multi axle trailer the pivot point is more or less between the two axles or three axles depending on how the axles are mounted and spaced apart. The loading problem occurs when weight is placed in the wrong place in relation to the pivot point of the axle(s). If you had a balanced trailer that had 500 pounds in the back and 500 pounds in the front that was balanced there would be no tongue weight on the hitch. If you added 100 pounds to the back of the trailer 5 feet behind the pivot point of the axle(s) that would provide 500 pounds of downward force to the rear of the trailer raising the front of the trailer off the ground. So you would not only have no tongue weight on the hitch the trailer the hitch would actually be trying to lift the rear of the tow vehicle off the ground. The tow vehicle showed no downward sag in the rear suspension leading to one of three conclusions. 1. There was not enough tongue weight because there was too much weight in the back of the trailer which causes the rear of the trailer to sway under the right conditions. 2. The trailer was more or less perfectly balanced which is the same problem as #1. 3. The tow vehicle had a HD suspension (so not enough weight on the tongue) or air bags which leveled out the truck with the tongue weight in the back. Most all pickups that tow heavy loads should have air bags to level out the truck so that when the trailer applies the proper tongue weight the rear of the truck does not sag down. In this case the tow vehicle found the speed that the trailer would sway at which should have never happened if the trailer was loaded correctly even if the truck was slightly overloaded. A properly loaded and balanced (60% weight forward not to exceed 15% tongue weight) with a truck that is setup correctly for the load should be stable at most any speed. Part of the problem is as the speed increases the reaction time decreases and most people towing trailers have no idea how to react when something bad happens. Getting off of the throttle as soon as the death wobble started, counter steering without over steering, and if they had the presence of mind to do 3 things at the same time using the trailer brake to apply some increasing braking to the trailer so that the tail pulled the dog straight.

Great write-up. I’ve only pulled a trailer twice and researched what I needed to know beforehand, but your comment truly goes into so much more. I don’t know if I’ll ever use it, but it’s good to know and provides more info for what to look out for when I trailers on the road. Last week I uploaded a video of an SUV pulling a trailer overfilled with mattresses that looked super sketchy. Just with my extremely limited knowledge on the subject, it’s frightening to see so many drivers who haven’t got a clue how to safely pull a trailer. If you wouldn’t mind giving a short critique of that mattress trailer video, I’d really appreciate some insight about it. It’s titled “Towing Dangerously”.
@thinkfirst64315 ай бұрын
@@AFTER_MIDNITE There are some problems that I see but not what you might think. I counted about 27 mattresses although some may be box springs. If you assumed that all of them weighted 100 lbs each (not likely) then the load was about 2700 lbs. Dual axle trailer best guess is 3500 lb axles for a total of 7000 lbs gross load. With the trailer the load was well within the load capacity of the trailer. Loaded about 2/3 front 1/3 back the trailer was almost level with the back a little down from the front. Mostly due to the height of the ball. Short vid so not really a good indication of how stable the load was. The real problems I see are the way and the straps or whatever they are that is holding the load down. The front of that load is catching a lot of air. If one strap breaks especially the front one I wouldn't want to be behind him. The safety chains were very tight. they should have been crossed not likely there was enough extra chain to do that. He took a drop hitch and turned it around so it wouldn't drag on the ground. Back of the SUV doesn't look like it is overloaded with tongue weight. Might actually be a little light. As far down as the front jack was if the chains let go the jack would have acted more like a pivot than a skid rotating the front of the trailer around until it folded or broke off. That would have been interesting to see. Better straps, more of them, less drop in the hitch it might have been a good load or good enough anyway. Expensive load to haul with all of that wind resistance. He didn't seem to have any trouble braking at the turn.

Pretty big trailer for a half ton. I recall years ago our f150 farm trucks, hauling stuff either in the box or towing a bumperpull, the front end got pretty light and would wander, give me the willies, and have to just poke along slow to keep it between the lines. Nowadays the trucks seem stiffer with a load on, but that was a pretty large trailer which would catch a good cross wind if it came up. I drive a 1 ton dually for a reason.

Am I reading the speed right? 110 KPH is actually around 68 MPH I tow a camping trailer as well, on a weight dist ball hitch, not a 5th wheel and honestly that isn't terribly fast. I have a 30' trailer and tow with an Escalade and I easily cruise at 60-65 MPH and I get passed by other RV's. Something must have happened for him to lose control. Blown tire, some mechanical failure like a broken spring on the trailer or some issue with the connection. Could also be a result of not loading the trailer evenly. Too much weight behind the trailer axles is most common reason for losing control.
@brustar515211 ай бұрын
From years of RV,ing towing Fifth wheel trailers, a light trailer like that one gets a good push from the "bow wave of air coming off the front of a semi. The problem is made worse by light truck tires on a single rear wheel axle that have lots of sidewall flex to soften the ride. When the rear of the trailer with longer overhang behind the axles comes through that "bow wave" it gets pushed sideways causing the rear of the truck to get deflected the opposite way when those light truck tires sidewall flex - then the over correcting steering corrections begin and get out of hand real quick. The facts are that trailer probably had ST tires that are speed rated to only 62mph. All in all they guy was blindly driving as though he was behind the wheel of his wife's CUV without a care in the world until it all went sideways. Truckers have enough to put up with already without having RV'ers shrapenalling all over the place beside or in front of them. Our final fiver as a 20,000 gvw unit towed by a custom built International toter carrying a Harley Ultra in a barn behind the cab for a combined weight of close to 40K and we still didn't drive like we stole the rig.

When I played trumpet and was music director for several Circuses in the 1980's I pulled a 31 Foot Travel Trailer with a 1981 Ford Bronco all across the Western United States and Western Canada 35,000 miles each year, often at 75 mph without an incident.

Second you feel more of the effects of the wind in such a big vehicle that the faster you go the stronger the wind effect thus risking a roll over.

I've never seen a 5th wheel fishtail before! Maybe got off into a soft shoulder and over corrected, maybe had to brake really hard with non-working/out of adjustment trailer brakes, or too much weight in the back/not enough weight on the hitch. The truck seems to be riding level, perhaps the truck itself was under-rated for the weight of the trailer, though it doesn't look like a very long 5er, it might have been over its weight rating due to overloading. Hard to tell what happened because it it so far away.

@@williambayliss2367 It isccat least a 3/4 ton, you can see the Cummins emblem on the side. People need to realize, at the speed this guy was going, if you have a blowout on the pickup or trailer, it's not going to end well. It always amazes me how many people that are supposed to be on vacation or out on a weekend trip are in such a hurry.

I was thinking the same thing. That's something you would expect from a bumper tow not a 5th wheel. Even if he was over the speed limit. Maybe he had full water tanks and the quick lane change started a bath tub effect.

Perhaps a speed limiter needs to be added so it triggers when a trailer is attatched. And no truck or SUV needs to be driven over 80mph. Add one to them while they are at it.

A rig like that has no future in passing anybody. I stay in the right lane and at a speed no more than the limit allows. Still get where I'm going a few minutes behind the ones who push their rigs at higher speeds. "Tail wagging the dog" is a scary situation; if you survive, you will never put yourself in that situation again !!!
@sequoyah59 Жыл бұрын
Always amazed at how fast people will pull a trailer. The really surprising ones are the big horse trailers. When a 1200 lb animal shifts it is going to throw you no matter what truck you are using to pull with. Just dumb. You can also tell they are not spending anything like hard earned money to drive that fast.

It seems no matter what size vehicle you're driving if it's bigger than the one behind you and they can't see through you they'll do anything in their power to pass you even if it risks death just to overtake. And then to top it off,you end up while still on cruise control, catching up to the same asshole just had to pass you by doing 20 to 30 over the posted speed limit, but now he's going slower than your cruise has been set since before he passed you in the slow lane and you already know what's gonna happen if you leave the cruise on and try to just roll on by........so you just hope and pray that they don't take anyone else with them when they finally crash.🤷♂️

Not sure what capacity pickup that is, or how much weight is on the rear bumper of the trailer. But that looks like a short bed, and the 5th wheel hitch is probably mounted too far back or in the wrong position. Also, what kind of vacationing fool has to drive faster than long haul commercial truckers on the clock? Just leave 10 minutes earlier and take your time. Even if he is doing RV deliveries, he would have been further ahead slowing down.
