Unfortunately many people who have never driven a truck or SUV towing a boat or camper have no idea what they are up againest. They think all vehicles respond like the ones they are driving in terms of braking and handling.

If you tow early in the morning or anytime after dark I highly recommend adding reflective tape to the back and sides of your trailers frame.

One morning heading down 495 for the canal around 4:30am I came upon a pickup towing a boat with no tail lights or trailer lights and I could not see them until I was right on top of them. The new reflective tapes are soo good you almost don't need rear running lights or at least makes for good insurance if your lights burnout.
