Originally posted by: tencubedWhat is going to happen if you are going downhill on a gradual to increasing corner that is getting pretty tight. The pavement is wet or maybe has a lot of wet leaves on it. The bad thing happens and a deer or other obstruction pops up in front of you and you have to really hit the brakes.
I pull a fifth wheel toy hauler that is right at the rated maximum of my one ton dually pickup when it is fully loaded, at 17,000 lbs. Even with triple axles and brakes on all three axles on the trailer, ... that deer is toast.

Lots of weight has lots of momentum, and just doesn't slow down very quickly. If it were me I would already be in low gear in that scenario, and taking it super super slow (the deer would still be dead, but maybe I wouldn't be).
I see lots of people pulling double trailers around here. Kind of scares me to tell the truth.
