i was helping a buddy move today. he had a trailer he was using from a friend, he hooked it up to my truck while his wife was showing me what had to go on the trailer. we got it all loaded up and we stated down the road when i heard a loud bang and the truck pushed forward. he never hooked up a trailer before so it wasn't locked down this was the out come...

that sucks. he should have mentioned he's never done it before, but your truck, you should have checked.

 

D***, that sucks!!! You know what I've learned by having a truck for over 12 years???? Nothing good ever comes with "i was helping a buddy move..." You're probably gonna check someone else's work from now on, especially when he's hooking something to your truck. Sorry bro.

 

thats nothing compared to the dent in my right rear Q panel. if your driving, no matter who hooked up the trailer always double check it, because then your liable for what happens.

 

hey, that's the exact dent i have in my rear bumper to.

 

that really sucks man!! but it could have been much worse, no paint was damaged!!!

 

I've had my own trailer for years and I always double check. Could have been a lot worse!!
Still sucks though!!

 

ill sell you my bumper.....that sucks man the same thing happened to a old buddy of mine borrowing our work f150 qcsb he used our 25' trailer to help his buddy move and viola same deal just alot worse man did the boss have a fit.....

 

bummer, thats why they have U-Hauls and Ryder trucks.

 

happened to me and a guy at work. I was lowering the trailer and he was down putting chains and the trailer wires on so while i was getting the last of the foot all the way up i figured he locked it down.

We got probably 2 miles through stop lights and turns then when a guy pulled out in front of us my co-worker slammed on brakes and bang, bumper dented.
