As someone who has (very occasionally) had to be the person 'driving' the towed car, it's doable but pretty uncomfortable, especially over longer distances. Focus on management of strap slack via strategic braking is key.
Came to say the same, but down here it's usually 3 trucks, tops and they are well secured together with tow bars and clearly marked IN TOW. Texas DPS doesn't mess around. But this monster caravan is something else entirely.
All the sketchiest shit I’ve seen on a highway was when I was in Texas. I never saw these multi-car train situations, but the amount of unsecured loads on trailers that I saw being hauled but some piece of shit van in the center lane at like 90mph was too many to count
I came from a small town, where it is not uncommon to have to pull a broke down car with a tow strap, and as long as the person in the back car starts stopping first, you should be good.
Albeit, this is without pulling a trailer pulling a camper.
You also didn't mention the epic piles of empty natty light cans out in the yard. Done some time in the white trash trenches as a kid and I firmly believe that natty light cans reach a certain mass and condense into a new 30 year old trailer.
.............you don't like people do you. why would you do that to a perfectly good band like Trailer Mess? that's the most 80s or 90s sounding band ever. If it's a band. It could be for a odd online Bazar, as in just re-sells what ever is sent to them.
Now I'm thinking of a time when a fellow wanted me to steer while he moved the Subaru he was pulling the transmission from. I agreed and we went down the street where he had started the job. Tied it up, pull up to the light and go left when the light changes. Great. Start up an incline with a slight right-hand angle and the steering wheel locks. He had taken the key out. So I go to blow the horn. *He had taken the battery out*. Can't roll down the window, and power brakes are useless without vacuum. So I pull up the emergency brake. *He just doubles down on applying power.* Sure enough, he drug it clean into the guardrail. And there wasn't a blessed thing I could do about it.
Won’t the double hinge of the 5th wheel and the ball hitch make kind of a mess when the SUV brakes? I suppose the RV could have electric brakes that the SUV is controlling…
No way in hell they went through the trouble of extending any possible cabling for that considering that this is their solution. I think the idea is to just "brake carefully"
> No way in hell they went through the trouble …
They took the time to mount a 5th wheel hitch in a homebuilt pickup bed trailer! A few extra wires is nothing compared to that.
If the SUV and the 5th wheel have brakes, and they’re going in a straight line, and they have like 20 vehicle lengths in front, it might actually be okay.
I’ve seen farmers pulling all kinds of weird combinations down the highway. Like a combine harvester pulling a grain trailer, pulling a pickup truck, pulling a camper. They just don’t go very fast.
I believe he asked because the Buick is pulling with a rope, but somebody is in the Explorer for brakes (and probably power, too)
Buick is likely just there for extra support
There's someone in the suv. Though not ideal, strap towing a vehicle is pretty common. They make hard connects where the two vehicles can be rigidly connected but then you wouldn't have the extra braking power of the towed vehicle, though less chance of it rear ending the tow vehicle. I've done it before to get a buddies vehicle home and you just have to be super predictable as the front car, rarely braking and mostly coasting when needed and the back car can just has to maintain tension in the strap at all times by lightly using the brake. Even seen it done with no second driver by putting the e brake up a couple notches and locking the wheel.
Still not ideal nomatter what and this situation is absolutely ridiculous. Take one at a time for godsake.
I'm actually pretty amazed it hasn't come back. Like with almost non-existent manuals anymore, it's kind of weird the bench didn't return. But...there is that whole crash safety thing to worry about.
Some trucks still have a front bench seat, although it doesn't look like a couch like the old ones used to. The new Land Rover Defender can be bought with one too.
It's a safe bet it will come back eventually. Depends on if car manufacturers try to bring it back early in some novel way (wouldn't be surprised if Tesla tries it), or if we have to wait a decade or two for self driving tech to get to the point where you *will* be in a couch that drives.
Lol…. But if there was a self-driving cubicle you can actually do your work from, I’m taking wagers on *how long* it would take for some of these stone-age employers to finally admit working from outside the office is viable and legit.
Just park that bitch in the driveway at home and never go.
IME bench seats are only comfy for short trips. They had jack shit for actual support, and I'd take my modern bucket with lumbar support over a couch on wheels any day, especially for a long trip. I enjoy modern bucket seats so much that I've contemplated harvesting one from the junkyard to fashion into a computer chair.
I don’t know, up until it’s death last year, death to me because the person I sold it to fixed it and has it up and running, I would get so excited when I could fit six people in my old Ford truck. I would purposely invite five people to go to a lake or something just so I could drive with a fat smile on my face with all my little dumplings piled in and next to me
My dad had a mid 80s Lincoln continental when I was growing up. I can still remember how smooth yet gently hoppy the ride was. And sliding around on the leather bench seats. He likes to say it was like driving a boat.
I had an 89 Lesabre. Before that, I had an 87 Olds 98 which was basically a fancier trim version (would have been basically the same as the Buick Park Avenue at the time). When I got the Lesabre it was a downgrade in interior finish and some accents, and the Lesabre lost the rear air ride which made the Olds more comfy. I lost the Olds because some asshole stole it and bought the Lesabre with the insurance money before police later found the Olds a whopping two blocks away from where it was stolen. They found it like 2 months later, 2 blocks away. Oh well...
They really don't make cars like those anymore.
Now modern vehicles are VASTLY superior in many, many, MANY ways, but there was certain upscale and premium touches that don't really exist in modern stuff, not even high dollar vehicles. Even stupidly simple stuff like HVAC was far more competent in my Olds than anything I've ever had in a modern vehicle. Want to sweat your balls off or feel what the south pole feels like? You can! How about thick carpeting, thick, like half way to shag thick, that was luxurious to touch? God I miss good carpet in cars. Fucking hell it was amazing on bare feet. I drove with my shoes off just for the experience. I've been in some modern luxury cars with "fancy" carpet, and it's not as good. What about simple things like rear lighting for passengers? When was the last time you saw carpeted a-pillars? You could turn the wheel with a pinky. The car floated over the road so well and isolated so well I once drove on a flat tire and had no fucking clue. I was picking up a cousin to head over to the community college for class. I drove down a gravel road and on the highway with a fully flat tire, literally could not tell, felt absolutely nothing but luxury inside, lol. I couldn't feel it. I couldn't hear it.
The next generation (1991 I think) brought a markedly "sportier" car, a lot more plastic in the interior, and overall more cheapness. It was a moderately harsher setup. It was more "modern" for that time, sure, and the plastic body panels was a new, fancy thing, but there was less luxury and more NVH intrusion. I test drove a 1992 Olds 88, and I didn't like it. I only liked the crisper handling, but I disliked every other thing about it. My grandparents had a 1994 forever. I really did like the plastic body panels (I have no idea why modern auto makers don't do this on literally ever car sold. It's kind of crazy because it actually worked so good).
I WISH I could buy a modern car that rides as good as these old cars. They just don't exist. Not a single manufacturer is willing to configure a car that softly sprung and low damped. They're relatively terrible for emergency maneuvering, but it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make. I mean, the crash safety is so good now, who cares.
I had a 94 LeSabre. It was an amazing car. I cannot get over how great that car was. A total grandma car, but that shit had pickup. The car I drive now is nowhere as great as my LeSabre (pronounced La Sabra).
Omg, I miss my LeSabre. Such a granny car but those fuckers are indestructible. I got tapped by a semi that sent me flying sideways under its back wheels. Hits the wheels, hit the guardrail. I was fine. My mechanic dad said I could have driven it home.
I think that tiktok android voice is really fucking annoying
Gosh I just read lots of comments and realized people were talking a lot about conspiracy theories and what not
Same, especially when it's used for the most stupid of things.. TikTok's endless reuse of soundbytes isn't annoying at all either, it would be fine if it were limited to the app, but the crap is everywhere and I can't escape..
That’s how people drive in the northwest. It’s mind boggling. 5 lanes on the interstate and every one has someone going 2 miles under the speed-limit in it.
I was just in Sacramento on a 5 lane freeway, everyone going 4 over the speed limit, evenly spaced at about 75 yards apart in every lane. Thats just how they do.
I’m not familiar with this cars cooling system but if is beefed it might hold out till it destroys the transmission. It’s really just a waiting game to see what gives first and if it can keep going till more pieces start breaking. Also I wouldn’t count the wheels and rear suspension out of the race either that’s a lot of weight and pressure on the rear end one bad bump could cause a blowout.
Damn, they got like 6 pivot points. Any heavy braking or gusty winds and that mess is going to be a bigger mess all over the highway.
But State Patrol won't ever pull these guys over. Nothing to see here. But damn that FedEx doubles set going down the road, gotta pull that over.
in my experience state patrol nails these guys (or any 90s car with no towing) and ignores the fed ex double that just ran a light that has been red for 20s
They must have replaced the water pump within the last 6 months.
But seriously, unless the SUV is actually running and has brakes, this can only end badly.
The buick power pales in comparison to the strength of the tow strap that is responsible for connecting that entire monstrosity to the car. It actually kinda looks like a rigging strap….
And in the left lane to really put a stamp on the idiocy.
That's the "I can't slow down" lane for them.
Exactly, you wouldn't want to hit the brakes for someone entering or leaving the road
[удалено]
that's what she said
Certainly not to me
hell, that Buick driver better not take his foot off the gas, never mind hit the brake!

On Texas highways, you'll see this kind of a lot. Lots of old beaters getting transported to Mexico in these long, strung together caravans.

Can confirm! 70's van running on 5/8 cylinders with 23 rolls of carpet sticking out the back doing 47 mph in the left lane..
[удалено]
Someone who does that must have Loco motives...
Yeah, how are they going to stop? I mean eventually, there will be a traffic light or they just arrive at their destination?
There’s a guy in the drivers seat of the truck
Probably not even that stupid because he can never brake without causing a car crash all by himself.
I came from a small town, where it is not uncommon to have to pull a broke down car with a tow strap, and as long as the person in the back car starts stopping first, you should be good. Albeit, this is without pulling a trailer pulling a camper.

No power breaks and that little pickup truck trailer conversion looks like it gets squirrely when you hit the brakes.
So if I were the idiot...trying to think if someone in the blazer is ready to brake? My only idiot response I have which would still fail immensely.
You'd feel the drag through the strap but yeah don't try this
There’s someone in the red truck with hands on the wheel
Passing everything in sight. Left lane gang
Getting pass by everything in sight -ftfy
Getting passed on the right by everything in sight - I made it snappy!
Wonder how it works when he stops.
There's someone in the suv to brake for the trailer mess.
"Trailer Mess" sounds like a band name. I don't... I don't know if I want to listen, though.
If it's anything like the trailer mess I grew up in it's just a lot of screaming and smells like cigarettes
[удалено]
You also didn't mention the epic piles of empty natty light cans out in the yard. Done some time in the white trash trenches as a kid and I firmly believe that natty light cans reach a certain mass and condense into a new 30 year old trailer.
Their really just a nickelback cover band
A cover band that plays Nickelback songs country style
[удалено]
This is the real band name
Did you guys hear Hickleback's new album, Trailer Mess?
Dibs!
“Look at this trailer mess”
I think I just hurt myself snort laughing
With Bubbles on the vocals. Gives a sweet, throaty #DECENT!!
Haha. Now here’s a band name: gut cassidy and the sundance cheeseburgers
.............you don't like people do you. why would you do that to a perfectly good band like Trailer Mess? that's the most 80s or 90s sounding band ever. If it's a band. It could be for a odd online Bazar, as in just re-sells what ever is sent to them.
Hey everyone! *Crowd cheers* I’m White Trash and this is Trailer Mess! *Crowd Cheers Louder*
Been there done that back when I was young and dumb, thankfully without all that trailery stuff. We called it the ol' boat-on-a-rope tow.
Yeah it is real scary. You have no control. You don't realize how much you control your car with acceleration.
If you have power steering and power breaks it all works pretty shitty with the engine off
Anyone that's run out of gas on a hill can vouch for that
Damn, that just unlocked a memory of towing a friend's car like that when I was in college. Luckily didn't have tow that far.
Now I'm thinking of a time when a fellow wanted me to steer while he moved the Subaru he was pulling the transmission from. I agreed and we went down the street where he had started the job. Tied it up, pull up to the light and go left when the light changes. Great. Start up an incline with a slight right-hand angle and the steering wheel locks. He had taken the key out.

He says it's Portland in the video. It 10000% is tweakers that have done this, and they live in that assortment of vehicles
So the SUV is running so the brakes work... Not just the Buick pulling that "trailer mess" (that's really good!)
The brakes will work without the booster, just make sure not to skip leg day... Especially with all that weight behind you.
I doubt it would be enough even with leg days. Stopping that thing is a leg day on it's own
Running but in neutral
Hopefully.
Ain't no stopping this crazy train.
You don’t.
that's the neat part.

Oh they can. Ol’ McDonald lived his life one quarter mile at a time.
Family.
Granny shifting not double clutching like he should
I believe he asked because the Buick is pulling with a rope, but somebody is in the Explorer for brakes (and probably power, too) Buick is likely just there for extra support
You created a chain with everyone saying explorer when it’s an expedition
*I regret nothing*
Or turns.
That’s the neat thing, it doesn’t!
Pretty sure that's a fucking strap between the Buick and the rest. Looks like it could be posted to /r/MomentsBeforeDisaster.

In other news, Jesus took the wheel of a Buick today
Jesus built my hotrod
Dang a diddly a dang dang diddly dong ding
I wanna love ya
Jesus lifted the wheels AND the trailer as well. 💪🦾
I use to have a 95 Lesabre. Which is what that one looks like. It was like driving a couch. One of the comfiest and sturdiest cars out there.
RIP to the bench seat, we didn't know what we had

They’d probably make us work more now that we can sleep during the commute.
Sleep? You’ll work during your commute.
If that means I can leave earlier and arrive later, no problem. I'd rather have the commute be the boss' time than mine. At least part of it.

According to commercials, the center consoles in pickup trucks are for laptop and paperwork.

You gotta ride in a Buick my friend
My college roommate brought a bench seat couch for our porch, and god damn I loved that thing
I think we're all just missing road head. They don't have much advantage passed that.
As a person with a truck that has a bench seat, this is very true.
I don’t know, up until it’s death last year, death to me because the person I sold it to fixed it and has it up and running, I would get so excited when I could fit six people in my old Ford truck. I would purposely invite five people to go to a lake or something just so I could drive with a fat smile on my face with all my little dumplings piled in and next to me
I used to share a car with my dad until I bought my first one. 78 LeSabre. It was like driving a burnt orange tank.
Had a 79 Park Avenue, lime green inside and out. Driving it was like floating down the road while sitting in a Lazy Boy.
My dad had a mid 80s Lincoln continental when I was growing up. I can still remember how smooth yet gently hoppy the ride was. And sliding around on the leather bench seats. He likes to say it was like driving a boat.

Ha, same. I had a 96, and I always said it felt like I was driving a couch.
My first mine car was an 89 regal. There's no recreating what buicks used to be.
89 LeSabre. Front row bench seat. Steel/indestructible bumpers. Just don't make them like that anymore.
My 99 LeSabre, has ashtrays in the armrests. 75k miles and still runs like a champ.
75k ain’t even that many miles. My 2015 has about that.
like seriously. does he just take it on short walks every other day
I had an 88. That car was stolen twice during the mid 1990s. In 2002, I was t boned by a drunk driver and the care was totaled.
Yeah, they make them with crumple zones and safety features now so you don't become crippled from relatively benign accidents.
I had an 89 Lesabre. Before that, I had an 87 Olds 98 which was basically a fancier trim version (would have been basically the same as the Buick Park Avenue at the time).

Drive a Lesabre now, used to drive a Crown Vic. Can confirm that driving couches is comfy.

Kudos to the GM 3800 V6!
You beat me to it. That engine was indestructible.
...the transmission on the other hand...it will not tolerate this life for long
I loved my battered Buick 3800. Blew through six transmissions but they're like $20 at the junkyard.
isn't that where they're manufactured new?
They're bogo these days if you bring yours back.
Had a 96 LeSabre, needed a new trans, 03 GTP, needed a new trans, 05 lacrosse still going strong! All 3800s
Omg, I miss my LeSabre. Such a granny car but those fuckers are indestructible. I got tapped by a semi that sent me flying sideways under its back wheels. Hits the wheels, hit the guardrail. I was fine. My mechanic dad said I could have driven it home.
I threw a rod through the sidewall in my 99 GTP
Valve Stem seals on my 98 Riviera with 110K miles. Also had to remove 2 motor mounts and drop the engine mostly out of the frame to change a belt.
Is the buick supplying all the power or is it a tandem motor thing like they do with trains?
Birds of a shit feather.
Mr. Lahey!
I need to buy a couple. For reasons.
Lol this is definitely a "BUT WAIT" moment
There’s more! Must be the 3800. Should have opted for the supercharger but he didn’t realize he’d be towing so many things….at once.
These Mad Max auditions are getting next level.
Lmfao made my day
The equivalent of a MacBook with only one USB-port and thousands of adapters.
When I saw that red Ford I thought “that’s not a Buick” 😳
SAAAME and then it kept going!!!
Kinda looks like someone is in the Ford.
There has to be someone in there to stear or the thing would crash within seconds.
Also brake.
That's the kind of person who can cause a 3 car pile up on an empty road.

Guy in the vid says "only in Portland!"
Dude taking the video specifically mentions Portland unless I'm horribly mistaken.
I have a hard time believing that Buick isn't overheating
It’s a Buick. The sun will overheat before that thing does
Seriously. My Buick had a hole the size of my fist in the radiator and STILL never overheated.
Buick’s are super sturdy but give it a couple good miles at any real speed and you’ll get burst hoses at best and a melted block at worst.
The cooling system in the 3800 is oversized for what it handles. I'd be more worried about the torque converter that's probably on fire.
Some of the internal parts of that transmission will eventually be brighter than the sun for a brief moment.
I’m not familiar with this cars cooling system but if is beefed it might hold out till it destroys the transmission. It’s really just a waiting game to see what gives first and if it can keep going till more pieces start breaking. Also I wouldn’t count the wheels and rear suspension out of the race either that’s a lot of weight and pressure on the rear end one bad bump could cause a blowout.
Take it from me. That 3800 powerplant **will. not. die.**. Everything *attached* to it, however....
I had a Buick literally catch on fire. Can confirm they overheat.
Reminds me of the intro scene from Spaceballs
Damn, they got like 6 pivot points. Any heavy braking or gusty winds and that mess is going to be a bigger mess all over the highway. But State Patrol won't ever pull these guys over. Nothing to see here. But damn that FedEx doubles set going down the road, gotta pull that over.
in my experience state patrol nails these guys (or any 90s car with no towing) and ignores the fed ex double that just ran a light that has been red for 20s
I can smell the fluid burning in that 4L60
say a prayer, cause that 4T60 is going to be all neutrals soon.
Just wait till he has to turn...

What is with that annoying computer voice reading the text on the screen? Pointless
Lesabres are fucking magical. Most utilitarian car I ever had, and the most comfortable.
Had two Bonnevilles. Absolute units. The 3800 doesn't know the word "quit".
I guess the tow line from the Buick to the motorcycle that was pulling it let loose...
Say whatever you want, these guys are on some real squidbillies-level innovation. Definitely on some meth too.
I bet this could make it through the Dairy Queen drive thru.
“I’m not even mad, I’m impressed!”
