Holy crap! Never seen anything like that....amazing destruction....You'd think he would notice the drag on the camper....I wonder how long they towed it before they noticed?

That was my thought also. Maybe the tower was a novice and didn't know how much drag to expect. Could be once some of the engine parts were out of the way, it wasn't dragging so much anymore.

Well he would left a trail of parts and an oil slick covering the entire lane it seems somebody would have to have noticed and you'd think they would pull up alongside and given them a heads up....of course if you hadn't seen it happening you would never guess that it came from that jeep, I mean it still looks like new from the outside...

With a big diesel pusher RV, you wouldn't feel a thing.

I personally know of someone who needed four new rims and tires after dragging their toad in park for several miles.

"dragging their toad in park for several miles."

Strange pet: I wouldn't have expected it to need that much exercise.

Play on words of course. A term the rebels use in the Colonies to describe the vehicle towed behind their motorcoach.

WOW!

The repair cost of $30,000 (not including labor) is more than the sticker price for a 2021 Wrangler Sport. The labor cost might make it more economical to just buy a new Rubicon and sell this for body parts to a scrap yard.
