Driving down I-287 south in New Jersey the other Friday I spotted this...
I tried to flag (honk horn and wave) down the driver but he was oblivious to his surroundings.
I followed for around 10 miles before he turned onto I-78 West..

Would hate to see this on the road

I hope that Ford has strong tailgate latches. Bob

Wouldn't ya thought he'd felt the Fifth Wheel "THUMP" as it dropped off the hitch?!?!?!

With those Fords being so tough, maybe he doesn't need a hitch.

He'll find out when he has to make a ninety degree turn.

Good candidate for a BedSaver. Doesn't look like his bed rails got damaged, though.

Very scary indeed, as the owner of an '02 F-250 .....which has been a great truck, I can honestly tell you that the LEAST strongest part of these trucks is the tailgate......they are junk. I have gone through 2 of them loading 80 lb. bales of hay in the bed. They just cave in!!

Just a thought. Maybe the reason he ignored 2010augusta trying to get his attention was because he knew that it was sitting on the bed rails.

Can you say "Here's your sign"!

Unbelieveable!!

This is definitely one of those stories that would be very hard to believe without the photos!

Maybe we do need stronger laws.........against stupidity!
