Quote: Biggest problem with people and towing is that a lot of people do not take towing seriously. Drive accordingly. Giver yourself room. Make sure all safety chains are in place and loads secured. Slow down. Drive defensively. Don't make quick actions. Make sure that you have the braking system adjusted properly. The tow vehicle should not be stopping the towed rig, it should be a shared thing between the two with the towed rig actually helping slow the tow vehicle. There are a lot of people towing that shouldn't even be driving let alone towing.
Good words of wisdom, but it doesn't change the fact that some tow things that are heavier than their tow vehicle is rated to tow.
Again, like Bob mentioned if you do this and you are in an accident you are subject to criminal prosecution.
